Which GCP solution should the organization use?

  1. BigQuery using a data pipeline job with continuous updates
  2. Cloud Storage using a scheduled task and gsutil
  3. Compute Engine Virtual Machines using Persistent Disk
  4. Cloud Datastore using regularly scheduled batch upload jobs

Answer(s): B

You are creating an internal App Engine application that needs to access a user's Google Drive on the user's behalf. Your company does not want to rely on the current user's credentials. It also wants to follow Google- recommended practices.

What should you do?

  1. Create a new Service account, and give all application users the role of Service Account User.
  2. Create a new Service account, and add all application users to a Google Group. Give this group the role of Service Account User.
  3. Use a dedicated G Suite Admin account, and authenticate the application's operations with these G Suite credentials.
  4. Create a new service account, and grant it G Suite domain-wide delegation. Have the application use it to impersonate the user.

A customer wants to move their sensitive workloads to a Compute Engine-based cluster using Managed Instance Groups (MIGs). The jobs are bursty and must be completed quickly. They have a requirement to be able to manage and rotate the encryption keys.

Which boot disk encryption solution should you use on the cluster to meet this customer's requirements?

  1. Customer-supplied encryption keys (CSEK)
  2. Customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK) using Cloud Key Management Service (KMS)
  3. Encryption by default
  4. Pre-encrypting files before transferring to Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for analysis

Answer(s): B

Your company is using Cloud Dataproc for its Spark and Hadoop jobs. You want to be able to create, rotate,

and destroy symmetric encryption keys used for the persistent disks used by Cloud Dataproc. Keys can be stored in the cloud.

What should you do?

  1. Use the Cloud Key Management Service to manage the data encryption key (DEK).
  2. Use the Cloud Key Management Service to manage the key encryption key (KEK).
  3. Use customer-supplied encryption keys to manage the data encryption key (DEK).
  4. Use customer-supplied encryption keys to manage the key encryption key (KEK).

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

This PD and bucket data is encrypted using a Google-generated data encryption key (DEK) and key encryption key (KEK). The CMEK feature allows you to create, use, and revoke the key encryption key (KEK). Google still controls the data encryption key (DEK). For more information on Google data encryption keys, see Encryption at Rest.

You are a member of the security team at an organization. Your team has a single GCP project with credit card payment processing systems alongside web applications and data processing systems. You want to reduce the scope of systems subject to PCI audit standards.

What should you do?

  2. Use only applications certified compliant with PA-DSS.
  3. Move the cardholder data environment into a separate GCP project.
  4. Use VPN for all connections between your office and cloud environments.

Answer(s): C

answer to this question "what administrative safeguards should be implemented to protect the collected data while in use by manasa and her product management team? " it should be (c) for the following reasons: this administrative safeguard involves controlling access to collected data by ensuring that only individuals who need the data for their job responsibilities have access to it. this helps minimize the risk of unauthorized access and potential misuse of sensitive information. while other options such as (a) documenting data flows and (b) conducting a privacy impact assessment (pia) are important steps in data protection, implementing a "need to know" access policy directly addresses the issue of protecting data while in use by limiting access to those who require it for legitimate purposes. (d) is not directly related to safeguarding data during use; it focuses on data transfers and location.

password lockout being the correct answer for question 37 does not make sense. it should be geofencing.
