Google Security Operations Engineer (Beta) Sample Questions:
Question 1
Your organization has recently onboarded to Google Cloud with Security Command Center Enterprise (SCCE) and is now integrating it with your organization's SO You want to automate the response process and integrate with the existing SOW ticketing system. How should you implement this functionality?
A. Evaluate each event within the SCC console. Create a ticket for each finding in the ticketing system, and include the remediation steps.
B. Configure the SCC notifications feed to use Pub/Sub for alerts. Create a Cloud Run function to trigger when an event arrives in the topic and generate a ticket by calling the API endpoint in the SOC ticketing system.
C. Use the SCC notifications feed to send alerts to Pub/Sub. Ingest these feeds using the relevant SIEM connector.
D. Disable the generic posture finding playbook in Google Security Operations (SecOps) SOAR and enable the playbook for the ticketing system. Add a step in your Google SecOps SOAR playbook to generate a ticket based on the event type.
Question 2
You use Google Security Operations (SecOps) curated detections and YARA-L rules to detect suspicious activity on Windows endpoints. Your source telemetry uses EDR and Windows Events logs. Your rules match on the principal.user.userid UDM field. You need to ingest an additional log source for this field to match all possible log entries from your EDR and Windows Event logs. What should you do?
A. Ingest logs from Windows Procmon.
B. Ingest logs from Windows PowerShell.
C. Ingest logs from Microsoft Entra I
D. Ingest logs from Windows Sysmon.
Question 3
Your organization is a Google Security Operations (SecOps) customer. The compliance team requires a weekly export of case resolutions and SLA metrics of high and critical severity cases over the past week. The compliance team's post- processing scripts require this data to be formatted as tabular data in CSV files, zipped, and delivered to their email each Monday morning.
What should you do?
A. Use statistics in search, and configure a Google SecOps SOAR job to format and send the report.
B. Build an Advanced Report in SOAR Reports, and schedule delivery of the report.
C. Build a detection rule with outcomes, and configure a Google SecOps SOAR job to format and send the report.
D. Generate a report in SOAR Reports, and schedule delivery of the report.
Question 4
During a proactive threat hunting exercise, you discover that a critical production project has an external identity with a highly privileged IAM role. You suspect that this is part of a larger intrusion, and it is unknown how long this identity has had access. All logs are enabled and routed to a centralized organization-level Cloud Logging bucket, and historical logs have been exported to BigQuery datasets. You need to determine whether any actions were taken by this external identity in your environment. What should you do?
A. Analyze IAM recommender insights and Security Command Center (SCC) findings associated with the external identity.
B. Execute queries against the centralized Cloud Logging bucket and the BigQuery dataset to filter for logs for where the principal email matches the external identity.
C. Analyze VPC Flow Logs exported to BigQuery, and correlate source IP addresses with potential login events for the external identity.
D. Use Policy Analyzer to identity the resources that are accessible by the external identity. Examine the logs related to these resources in the centralized Cloud Logging bucket and the BigQuery dataset.
Question 5
You are responsible for selecting and prioritizing potential sources of data to integrate with Google Security Operations (SecOps). Your company has recently started using several Google Cloud services to increase security in its Google Cloud organization. You need to determine which logs should be ingested into Google SecOps to reduce the effort required to write detections. What should you do?
A. Ingest Google Cloud Armor logs by using Cloud Logging.
B. Integrate Security Command Center (SCC) into Google SecOps to ingest logs originating from the Google Cloud services.
C. Use Google Threat Intelligence to gain insight about threat group behavior and support threat hunting activities.
D. Deploy a Bindplane agent to ingest event logs from Compute Engine VMs that provide endpoint visibility.
