Your organization operates Virtual Machines (VMs) with only private IPs in the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) with internet access through Cloud NAT. Everyday, you must patch all VMs with critical OS updates and provide summary reports.

What should you do?

  1. Validate that the egress firewall rules allow any outgoing traffic. Log in to each VM and execute OS specific update commands. Configure the Cloud Scheduler job to update with critical patches daily for daily updates.
  2. Copy the latest patches to the Cloud Storage bucket. Log in to each VM, download the patches from the bucket, and install them.
  3. Assign public IPs to VMs. Validate that the egress firewall rules allow any outgoing traffic. Log in to each VM, and configure a daily cron job to enable for OS updates at night during low activity periods.
  4. Ensure that VM Manager is installed and running on the VMs. In the OS patch management service, configure the patch jobs to update with critical patches daily.

Answer(s): D



For compliance reporting purposes, the internal audit department needs you to provide the list of virtual machines (VMs) that have critical operating system (OS) security updates available, but not installed. You must provide this list every six months, and you want to perform this task quickly.

What should you do?

  1. Run a Security Command Center security scan on all VMs to extract a list of VMs with critical OS vulnerabilities every six months.
  2. Run a gcloud CLI command from the Command Line Interface (CLI) to extract the VM's OS version information every six months.
  3. Ensure that the Cloud Logging agent is installed on all VMs, and extract the OS last update log date every six months.
  4. Ensure the OS Config agent is installed on all VMs and extract the patch status dashboard every six months.

Answer(s): D



Your company conducts clinical trials and needs to analyze the results of a recent study that are stored in BigQuery. The interval when the medicine was taken contains start and stop dates. The interval data is critical to the analysis, but specific dates may identify a particular batch and introduce bias. You need to obfuscate the start and end dates for each row and preserve the interval data.

What should you do?

  1. Use date shifting with the context set to the unique ID of the test subject.
  2. Extract the date using TimePartConfig from each date field and append a random month and year.
  3. Use bucketing to shift values to a predetermined date based on the initial value.
  4. Use the FFX mode of format preserving encryption (FPE) and maintain data consistency.

Answer(s): A



You have a highly sensitive BigQuery workload that contains personally identifiable information (PII) that you want to ensure is not accessible from the internet. To prevent data exfiltration, only requests from authorized IP addresses are allowed to query your BigQuery tables.

What should you do?

  1. Use service perimeter and create an access level based on the authorized source IP address as the condition.
  2. Use Google Cloud Armor security policies defining an allowlist of authorized IP addresses at the global HTTPS load balancer.
  3. Use the Restrict Resource Service Usage organization policy constraint along with Cloud Data Loss Prevention (DLP).
  4. Use the Restrict allowed Google Cloud APIs and services organization policy constraint along with Cloud Data Loss Prevention (DLP).

Answer(s): A



Your organization is moving virtual machines (VMs) to Google Cloud. You must ensure that operating system images that are used across your projects are trusted and meet your security requirements.

What should you do?

  1. Implement an organization policy to enforce that boot disks can only be created from images that come from the trusted image project.
  2. Implement an organization policy constraint that enables the Shielded VM service on all projects to enforce the trusted image repository usage.
  3. Create a Cloud Function that is automatically triggered when a new virtual machine is created from the trusted image repository. Verify that the image is not deprecated.
  4. Automate a security scanner that verifies that no common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs) are present in your trusted image repository.

Answer(s): A
