Google Cloud Certified - Professional Security Operations Engineer (PSOE) Sample Questions:

Question 1

You are a security analyst at an organization that uses Google Security Operations (SecOps).
You have identified a new IP address that is known to be used by a malicious threat actor to launch network attacks. You need to search for this IP address in Google SecOps using all normalized logs to determine whether any malicious activity has occurred. You want to use the most effective approach. What should you do?

A. On the Alerts & IOCs page, review results and entries where the IP address appears.
B. Write UDM searches using YARA-L 2.0 syntax to find events where the IP address appears.
C. Run raw log searches using the IP address as a search term.
D. Write a YARA-L 2.0 detection rule that searches for events with the IP address.

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 are a SOC analyst working a case in Google Security Operations (SecOps). The case contains a file hash that your playbooks have automatically enriched with VirusTotal context and categorized as likely malicious. You need to quickly identify devices and users in your organization who have interacted with this file. What should you do?

A. Build a playbook to query your threat intelligence platform (TIP) for the presence of the file hash.
B. Use a manual action in Google SecOps SOAR to perform a UDM search matching on the file hash in Google SecOps SIEM.
C. Use a manual action in Google SecOps SOAR to query your threat intelligence platform (TIP) for the presence of the file hash.
D. Build a playbook to perform a UDM search matching on the file hash in Google SecOps SIEM.

Question 4

You are a security analyst at an organization that uses Google Security Operations (SecOps).
Google SecOps triggered a medium severity alert of Unusual Cloud Storage Access - High Volume Download for [email protected] from the internal-project-code-repository bucket. This user is a senior developer within your organization who has legitimate access, but their download volume is unusually high and occurs outside working hours. You need to investigate this alert. What should you do first?

A. Review user1's timeline in Google SecOps, focusing on network events and resource access immediately preceding the download anomaly.
B. Run a Google SecOps SOAR playbook to suspend user1's bucket access, and review their user timeline.
C. Enrich the bucket entity with sensitivity labels and access control list (ACL) data.
D. Create a default detection rule in Google SecOps to monitor future high-volume downloads from the bucket, and add user1 to a high-risk watchlist.

Question 5

Your organization has a standard set of Google Security Operations (SecOps) playbooks that are applied to alerts in different circumstances. One playbook uses an "All" trigger that should always be applied if no other more specific playbooks have triggered. You need to ensure that the more specific playbook is attached and not the generic "All" playbook when multiple triggers match.
What should you do?

A. Set the priority of the "All" playbook to a higher value than the priority of the specific playbook to ensure the "All" trigger is evaluated after the previous priorities.
B. Create a tagging rule in the Google SecOps SOAR settings, and use a tag trigger to trigger the specific playbook.
C. In the Outcomes section of the detection rule that is firing your alert, add a specific field to search for the specific playbook to base the trigger on.
D. Change the "All" trigger to be more precise so that it doesn't trigger when the other playbook is needed.
