Google Security Operations Engineer (Beta) Sample Questions:

Question #1
You are a security engineer at a managed security service provider (MSSP) that is onboarding to Google Security Operations (SecOps). You need to ensure that cases for each customer are logically separated. How should you configure this logical separation?

A. In Google SecOps SOAR settings, create a permissions group for each customer.
B. In Google SecOps SOAR settings, create a role for each customer.
C. In Google SecOps Playbooks, create a playbook for each customer.
D. In Google SecOps SOAR settings, create a new environment for each customer.

Question #2
You received an alert from Container Threat Detection that an added binary has been executed in a business critical workload. You need to investigate and respond to this incident. What should you do? (Choose two.)

A. Silence the alert in the Security Command Center (SCC) console, as the alert is a low severity finding.
B. Review the finding, investigate the pod and related resources, and research the related attack and response methods.
C. Notify the workload owner. Follow the response playbook, and ask the threat hunting team to identify the root cause of the incident.
D. Review the finding, quarantine the cluster containing the running pod, and delete the running pod to prevent further compromise.
E. Keep the cluster and pod running, and investigate the behavior to determine whether the activity is malicious.

Question #3
You have noticed that a Google Security Operations (SecOps) detection rule that detects excessive network connections is triggering too frequently and creating too many false positive alerts. You want to improve the rule to reduce the noise without reducing the effectiveness of the rule. What change to the detection rule should you implement?

A. Include a 10 minute timeframe for the same source and destination of network connections in the YARA-L match: section to aggregate the alerts.
B. Update the YARA-L events: section to exclude the most common IP addresses involved in the network connection alerts to reduce the number of alerts.
C. Add a threshold in the YARA-L condition: section to ensure that the rule only alerts after a certain number of connections.
D. Assign a risk score in the YARA-L outcome: section to prioritize alerts more effectively in the alert queue.

Question #4
You work for an organization that uses Security Command Center (SCC) with Event Threat Detection (ETD) enabled. You need to enable ETD detections for data exfiltration attempts from designated sensitive Cloud Storage buckets and BigQuery datasets. You want to minimize Cloud Logging costs. What should you do?

A. Enable "data read" and "data write" audit logs for all Cloud Storage buckets and BigQuery datasets throughout the organization.
B. Enable "data read" audit logs only for the designated sensitive Cloud Storage buckets and BigQuery datasets.
C. Enable "data read" and "data write" audit logs only for the designated sensitive Cloud Storage buckets and BigQuery datasets.
D. Enable VPC Flow Logs for the VPC networks containing resources that access the sensitive Cloud Storage buckets and BigQuery datasets.

Question #5
You are the SOC manager at a large enterprise that uses Google Security Operations (SecOps).
You need to create a report that shows the Return on Investment (ROI) attributed to analyst activities in Google SecOps SOAR for the previous month. The report should include the time saved and efficiency gains from using SOAR's features. You need to generate this report using the most efficient and accurate approach while providing the required level of detail. What should you do?

A. Use the ROI - Analysts Benchmark report in SOAR Reports. Configure the report to display data for the desired time period, and filter by individual analysts.
B. Develop a Google SecOps SOAR playbook that automatically aggregates analyst performance metrics, incorporates custom weighted factors for different case types, calculates ROI based on predefined formulas, and generates a PDF report on a monthly schedule.
C. Create a custom Google SecOps SOAR search query that filters for all cases handled by specific analysts in the last month. Export the results to a spreadsheet for analysis and ROI calculation.
D. Use the filters and visualizations in the Management - SOC Status report in SOAR Reports to extract case-specific performance data.
