What is the worth of Google Professional Cloud Security Engineer Exam
Cloud-based solutions have been in high demand in recent years and are not expected to change in the future either. With large and reputable companies, academic institutions, and even cities severely affected by strikes and poor security practices, companies must understand exactly how effectively and successfully a Google Cloud (GC) infrastructure is protected.
In this overview, you will learn about the GC Professional Cloud Security Engineer certification and the exam you may need to obtain it.
Data Protection Ensuring
To answer the questions related to this module, the learners need to have the skills in managing encryption at rest. This comprises their comprehension of use cases for default encryption, customer-supplied encryption keys (CSEK), and customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK). The candidates should also be capable of creating & managing encryption keys for CSEK and CMEK as well as managing application secrets. They should have an understanding of enclave computing, envelope encryption, and object lifecycle policies for Cloud Storage. Moreover, this area requires your competency in preventing data loss using DLP API. This involves the ability to configure tokenization, restrict access to DLP datasets, determine and redact PII, as well as configure the format-preserving substitution.

NEW QUESTION # 38
You are on your company's development team. You noticed that your web application hosted in staging on GKE dynamically includes user data in web pages without first properly validating the inputted data. This could allow an attacker to execute gibberish commands and display arbitrary content in a victim user's browser in a production environment.
How should you prevent and fix this vulnerability?
- A. Set up an HTTPS load balancer, and then use Cloud Armor for the production environment to prevent the potential XSS attack.
- B. Use Cloud IAP based on IP address or end-user device attributes to prevent and fix the vulnerability.
- C. Use Web Security Scanner in staging to simulate an XSS injection attack, and then use a templating system that supports contextual auto-escaping.
- D. Use Web Security Scanner to validate the usage of an outdated library in the code, and then use a secured version of the included library.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
There is mention about simulating in Web Security Scanner. "Web Security Scanner cross-site scripting (XSS) injection testing *simulates* an injection attack by inserting a benign test string into user-editable fields and then performing various user actions."

- D. Send all logs to the SIEM system via an existing protocol such as syslog.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Scenarios for exporting Cloud Logging data: Splunk This scenario shows how to export selected logs from Cloud Logging to Pub/Sub for ingestion into Splunk. Splunk is a security information and event management (SIEM) solution that supports several ways of ingesting data, such as receiving streaming data out of Google Cloud through Splunk HTTP Event Collector (HEC) or by fetching data from Google Cloud APIs through Splunk Add-on for Google Cloud. Using the Pub/Sub to Splunk Dataflow template, you can natively forward logs and events from a Pub/Sub topic into Splunk HEC. If Splunk HEC is not available in your Splunk deployment, you can use the Add-on to collect the logs and events from the Pub/Sub topic. https://cloud.google.com/solutions/exporting-stackdriver-logging-for-splunk

Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
https://cloud.google.com/vpc/docs/firewalls#service-accounts-vs-tags
https://cloud.google.com/vpc/docs/firewalls#service-accounts-vs-tags
A service account represents an identity associated with an instance. Only one service account can be associated with an instance. You control access to the service account by controlling the grant of the Service Account User role for other IAM principals. For an IAM principal to start an instance by using a service account, that principal must have the Service Account User role to at least use that service account and appropriate permissions to create instances (for example, having the Compute Engine Instance Admin role to the project).
