Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Apply a Deny policy to the user's IAM role
Why this is correct
Restricting permissions via IAM is an effective containment step.
- ✗
Delete the storage bucket
Why it's wrong here
This causes massive data loss and is not a standard containment procedure.
- ✗
Change the bucket encryption keys
Why it's wrong here
This prevents access but disrupts legitimate business operations without addressing the root cause.
- ✗
Update the firewall rules of the VPC
Why it's wrong here
Cloud storage is typically accessed via APIs, not VPC firewall rules.
