Start Google Cloud Security PracticeA company wants to replace its VPN-based remote access with a zero-trust solution that verifies user identity and device health before granting access to internal applications. Which Google Cloud service should they use?
Explanation: BeyondCorp Enterprise provides zero-trust access based on user identity and device context, eliminating the need for a VPN. IAP is a component but the full solution is BeyondCorp Enterprise.
An organization needs to ensure that data stored in Cloud Storage is encrypted using keys that they manage and rotate themselves. Which encryption option should they choose?
Explanation: CMEK allows customers to manage their own keys via Cloud KMS. CSEK requires customer-supplied keys but has operational overhead. Google-managed keys are default but not customer-managed.
A security team needs to monitor and analyze logs from multiple GCP projects to detect threats across the organization. They require a SIEM solution that can ingest logs from on-premises and other clouds. Which service should they use?
Explanation: Chronicle is a Google Cloud SIEM that ingests logs from various sources, including on-premises and other clouds, and provides threat detection. Security Command Center is for vulnerability scanning, not SIEM.
A company wants to protect its web application running on Google Cloud from DDoS attacks and SQL injection. Which service should they use?
Explanation: Cloud Armor provides DDoS protection and WAF capabilities (including SQL injection prevention). Cloud CDN caches content but does not protect against attacks. VPC firewall rules are network-level only. reCAPTCHA protects against bots but not SQL injection.
A data engineering team needs to store and manage database passwords and API keys used by their applications. Which Google Cloud service should they use?
Explanation: Secret Manager is designed to store secrets like passwords and API keys. Cloud KMS is for encryption keys. Cloud Key Management Service is for creating and managing cryptographic keys, not storing secrets. Cloud Storage is for objects.
