You are responsible for evaluating the level of effort required to integrate a new third-party endpoint detection tool with Google Security Operations (SecOps). Your organization's leadership wants to minimize customization for the new tool for faster deployment. You need to verify that the Google SecOps SOAR and SIEM support the expected workflows for the new third-party tool. You must recommend a tool to your leadership team as quickly as possible. What should you do? (Choose two.)
Answer(s): D,E
Reviewing documentation to confirm whether default parsers exist for the tool ensures logs can be ingested into Google SecOps without heavy customization.Checking the Google SecOps Marketplace verifies whether the tool has native SOAR/SIEM integration and supported actions, which directly impacts how quickly and easily workflows can be implemented.
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?
Answer(s): B
The most efficient and accurate method is to use the ROI Analysts Benchmark report in SOAR Reports. This built-in report automatically calculates time saved and efficiency gains from SOAR features, allows filtering by analyst and time period, and avoids the need for manual queries or custom playbook development while delivering the required ROI insights.
Your company works with an external Managed Service Provider (MSP) that requires its users to have the ability to list findings from Security Command Center (SCC) using the Google Cloud SDK. You need to configure the required access for the managed service provider while minimizing your involvement in their external user lifecycle management processes. What should you do?
Answer(s): D
The best solution is to create a Workforce Identity Pool and federate with the MSP's IdP. This allows the MSP's users to authenticate with their own identity provider while receiving the necessary IAM roles in your environment. It minimizes your lifecycle management overhead since you don't need to create or manage individual external user accounts, while still providing secure, role-based access to SCC findings.
You are conducting a proactive threat hunt in Google Security Operations (SecOps). You observe multiple login events with the same principal.user.userid field that originate from different countries within a short time window. You need to validate whether the account has been compromised. What should you do?
Answer(s): C
The most direct way to validate if the account shows signs of compromise is to perform a UDM search for login events and group the results by user and country of origin. This allows you to clearly identify impossible travel patterns (same user logging in from different countries in a short time window), which is a strong indicator of account compromise.
You are using a Google-managed image on a Compute Engine instance in Google Cloud to run an application. You need to ingest the application's log output into Google Security Operations (SecOps). The log output is standard and has a valid label and parser in Google SecOps. Your solution must minimize the cost and time required to move this data into Google SecOps. What should you do?
Answer(s): A
The most efficient and cost-effective approach is to use the Ops Agent (already embedded in the Compute Engine image) to send logs to Cloud Logging, and then use the direct ingestion mechanism to forward those logs into Google SecOps. This avoids deploying additional agents or scripts, leverages Google-managed integrations, and minimizes both cost and time.
