Question 24

Your company's storage team manages all product images within a specific Google Cloud project. To maintain control, you must isolate access to Cloud Storage for this project, allowing the storage team to manage restrictions at the project level. They must be restricted to using corporate computers. What should you do?

Options:

Employ organization-level firewall rules to block all traffic to Cloud Storage. Create exceptions for specific service accounts used by the storage team within their project.

Implement VPC Service Controls by establishing an organization-wide service perimeter with all projects. Configure ingress and egress rules to restrict access to Cloud Storage based on IP address ranges.

Use Context-Aware Access. Create an access level that defines the required context. Apply it as an organization policy specifically at the project level, restricting access to Cloud Storage based on that context.

Use Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles at the project level within the storage team's project. Grant the storage team granular permissions on the project's Cloud Storage resources.

Answer:

Explanation:

The key requirement is restricting access based on the client device (i.e., "corporate computers"). Context-Aware Access (CAA) is the specific Google Cloud tool designed to enforce access based on contextual factors, including the device security status or IP address.

Context Restriction: Context-Aware Access allows you to define an Access Level based on attributes like device policy compliance, operating system, or IP address range—this addresses the "corporate computers" requirement.

Isolation and Control: The Access Level is then enforced via an Organization Policy applied at the Project Level (or the folder/organization level), which fulfills the requirement to isolate access to Cloud Storage for this project and restrict the access to specific resources (Cloud Storage).

VPC Service Controls (VPC SC) (Option B) are great for isolating projects and preventing data exfiltration, but its primary access restriction mechanisms are based on IP range, not fine-grained device security posture and user identity together, making CAA the more precise tool for device-specific enforcement. Also, applying VPC SC ingress/egress based on IP addresses for end-user access can be complex and less flexible than CAA.

IAM (Option D) only controls who (identity) can access a resource, not where or how (context) they are accessing it from.

Extracts:

"Context-Aware Access (CAA) integrates with Google Workspace or Cloud Identity to enforce granular access to Google Cloud resources based on a user's context, such as their location, device security status, and IP address." (Source 7.1)

"To enforce CAA for Google Cloud resources like Cloud Storage, you create an Access Level that defines the required context (e.g., only corporate-managed devices) and apply it via an Organization Policy constraint (e.g., iam.allowedServices) at the project level." (Source 7.2)

"CAA allows you to restrict access based on the device security posture, a key requirement for enforcing 'corporate computer' access." (Source 7.3)

Question 25

Your DevOps team uses Packer to build Compute Engine images by using this process:

1 Create an ephemeral Compute Engine VM.

2 Copy a binary from a Cloud Storage bucket to the VM's file system.

3 Update the VM's package manager.

4 Install external packages from the internet onto the VM.

Your security team just enabled the organizational policy. consrraints/compure.vnExtemallpAccess. to restrict the usage of public IP Addresses on VMs. In response your DevOps team updated their scripts to remove public IP addresses on the Compute Engine VMs however the build pipeline is failing due to connectivity issues.

What should you do?

Choose 2 answers

Options:

Provision a Cloud NAT instance in the same VPC and region as the Compute Engine VM

Provision an HTTP load balancer with the VM in an unmanaged instance group to allow inbound connections from the internet to your VM.

Update the VPC routes to allow traffic to and from the internet.

Provision a Cloud VPN tunnel in the same VPC and region as the Compute Engine VM.

Enable Private Google Access on the subnet that the Compute Engine VM is deployed within.

Question 26

Which Google Cloud service should you use to enforce access control policies for applications and resources?

Options:

Identity-Aware Proxy

Cloud NAT

Google Cloud Armor

Shielded VMs

Question 27

You are the security admin of your company. Your development team creates multiple GCP projects under the "implementation" folder for several dev, staging, and production workloads. You want to prevent data exfiltration by malicious insiders or compromised code by setting up a security perimeter. However, you do not want to restrict communication between the projects.

What should you do?

Options:

Use a Shared VPC to enable communication between all projects, and use firewall rules to prevent data exfiltration.

Create access levels in Access Context Manager to prevent data exfiltration, and use a shared VPC for communication between projects.

Use an infrastructure-as-code software tool to set up a single service perimeter and to deploy a Cloud Function that monitors the "implementation" folder via Stackdriver and Cloud Pub/Sub. When the function notices that a new project is added to the folder, it executes Terraform to add the new project to the associated perimeter.

Use an infrastructure-as-code software tool to set up three different service perimeters for dev, staging, and prod and to deploy a Cloud Function that monitors the "implementation" folder via Stackdriver and Cloud Pub/Sub. When the function notices that a new project is added to the folder, it executes Terraform to add the new project to the respective perimeter.
