cloud sql proxy is secure and that is what all our developers use for local access to the database.

However, we have some third party data analysis tools (such as Tableau) that also connect to one of our databases. They are hosted in their own clouds and have to connect over the databases’s public IP address and can’t use cloud_sql_proxy. I of course manually confirmed that these connections use SSL but I would feel much more comfortable if I could enforce it from our end.
