Create a Multicloud Defense Firewall Service Account Using the GCP Cloud Console

The multicloud defense firewall service account is used by the Multicloud Defense Gateway instances running inside your GCP project. The Gateways may need to access the private keys stored in the SecretManager for TLS decryption and access storage to store PCAP files etc. (if configured by the user).
