Google Cloud Certified - Professional Security Operations Engineer (PSOE) - Security-Operations-Engineer Exam Practice Test

Your organization uses Google Security Operations (SecOps). You need to identify the most commonly occurring processes and applications across your organization's large number of servers so you can implement baselines and exclusion lists on a regular basis. You want to use the most efficient approach. What should you do?

You are building a detection rule in Google Security Operations (SecOps) to alert on requests to potentially malicious domains. You are planning to use the logs from your network detection and response (NDR) solution but you need to reduce noise and narrow the scope of detections. You want to minimize cost and deploy the solution quickly. What should you do?

You are using Google Security Operations (SecOps) to identify and report a repetitive sequence of brute force SSH login attempts on a Compute Engine image that did not result in a successful login. You need to gain visibility into this activity while minimizing impact on your ingestion quota.
Which log type should you ingest into Google SecOps?

Your organization plans to ingest logs from an on-premises MySQL database as a new log source into its Google Security Operations (SecOps) instance. You need to create a solution that minimizes effort. What should you do?

Your team has onboarded a new log source from a third-party DNS filtering solution. After ingestion, you observe that key UDM fields such as network.dns.questions.name and metadata.product_event_type are missing from the parsed events in Google Security Operations (SecOps). You suspect that the default parser does not fully align with the source format. You need to ensure these fields are available for downstream detection rules that rely on DNS query telemetry and event categorization. What should you do?

Your company uses Google-managed images on Compute Engine VM instances extensively and has deployed Security Command Center Enterprise (SCCE) at the organization level Due to a recent increase in vulnerability exploits, you want to improve visibility into operating system (OS) risks for all VMs in your organization. You want to use managed services to enhance security detection capabilities related to these vulnerabilities using minimal effort. What should you do?

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?

Your organization is a Google Security Operations (SecOps) customer. You use Google Threat Intelligence to identify cyber threats within your organization's threat profile. You believe your organization may have been targeted by a cyber crime group. You need to identify whether your organization has been the victim of an attack. What should you do?

Your organization uses Google Security Operations (SecOps) for security analysis and investigation. Your organization has decided that all security cases related to Data Loss Prevention (DLP) events must be categorized with a defined root cause specific to one of five DLP event types when the case is closed in Google SecOps. How should you achieve this?
