Google Cloud Certified - Professional Security Operations Engineer (PSOE) Sample Questions:

Question #1
Your company uses Cloud Identity to manage employee identities and has Google Security Operations (SecOps) linked to your Google Cloud project. You have assigned the roles/chronicle.viewer IAM role at the project level to a specific Google Group that contains users with external Google accounts. Users in this external group authenticate successfully to Google Cloud, but are unable to access Google SecOps. Internal users granted the same role can access Google SecOps. What Google Cloud configuration is most likely preventing the external users from accessing Google SecOps?

A. Google SecOps inherently blocks sign-ins from identities outside the organization's primary domain.
B. External users must be synchronized to Cloud Identity using Google Cloud Directory Sync (GCDS) for IAM roles to take effect.
C. The constraints/iam.allowedPolicyMemberDomains organization policy is restricting IAM role assignments to identities within your company domain only.
D. The roles/chronicle.viewer IAM role does not apply correctly when granted to Google Groups containing external identities.

Question #2
Your team is responsible for cybersecurity for a large multinational corporation. You have been tasked with identifying unknown command and control nodes (C2s) that are potentially active in your organization's environment. You need to generate a list of potential matches within the next
24 hours. What should you do?

A. Review Security Health Analytics (SHA) findings in Security Command Center (SCC).
B. Write a YARA-L rule in Google Security Operations (SecOps) that compares network traffic of endpoints to low prevalence domains against recent WHOIS registrations.
C. Load network records into BigQuery to identify endpoints that are communicating with domains outside three standard deviations of normal.
D. Write a rule in Google Security Operations (SecOps) that scans historic network outbound connections against ingested threat intelligence Run the rule in a retrohunt against the full tenant.

Question #3
Your company is taking a more proactive approach to security. You want to generate an alert when a binary hash first appears in your environment. What should you do?

A. Enable the Applied Threat Intelligence - Curated Prioritization rule set in curated detections.
B. Navigate to the Alerts & IOCs page in Google Security Operations (SecOps). Create a filter that targets hashes and specifies a first_seen_time value excluding the current date.
C. Write a rule to examine file-related events that join with derived context for hashes in the entity graph. Compare the timestamp of the hash with the first_seen_time field.
D. Create a table by using the Google Security Operations (SecOps) statistics in search to examine file-related events for the current day. Verify that the first_seen_time value predates the current day.

Question #4
Your organization has mission-critical production Compute Engine VMS that you monitor daily.
While performing a UDM search in Google Security Operations (SecOps), you discover several outbound network connections from one of the production VMs to an unfamiliar external IP address occurring over the last 48 hours.

A. Search for the external IP address in the Alerts & IOCs page in Google SecOps.
B. Create a new detection rule to alert on future traffic from the external IP address.
