You plan to use available tools in Google Security Operations (SecOps) to streamline the playbook creation process. What should you do?

Q47. You are implementing Google Security Operations (SecOps) for your organization. Your organization has their own threat intelligence feed that has been ingested to Google SecOps by using a native integration with a Malware Information Sharing Platform (MISP). You are working on the following detection rule to leverage the command and control (C2) indicators that were ingested into the entity graph.

What code should you add in the detection rule to filter for the domain IOCs?

Q48. You are an incident response engineer at an organization that uses Google Security Operations (SecOps). You recently started monitoring IOCs in Applied Threat Intelligence using YARA-L rules. You have discovered that there are more false positive alerts than expected, which is causing noise for the SOC team. You need to reduce the number of false positive alerts. What should you do?

Q49. Your organization has a standard set of Google Security Operations (SecOps) playbooks that are applied to alerts in different circumstances. One playbook uses an “All” trigger that should always be applied if no other more specific playbooks have triggered. You need to ensure that the more specific playbook is attached and not the generic “All” playbook when multiple triggers match.
What should you do?

Q50. You work at a financial services company. You need to detect in near real-time when a Cloud Run functions service agent modifies the IAM policy of an Artifact Registry repository. You plan to use Security Command Center (SCC). You want to follow the Google-recommended approach.
What should you do?

Q51. 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?

Q52. You need to augment your organization’s existing Security Command Center (SCC) implementation with additional detectors. You have a list of known IOCs and would like to include external signals for this capability to ensure broad detection coverage. What should you do?

Q53. You are the lead engineer on your organization’s incident response team. You are running CrowdStrike Falcon and SentinelOne to protect the Windows devices in different regions of your organization. You are ingesting the following logs into Google Security Operations (SecOps):
– Azure AD Directory Audit (AZURE_AD_AUDIT)
– Crowdstrike Falcon (CS_EDR)
– Microsoft Sysmon (WINDOWS_SYSMON)
– SentinelOne (SENTINEL_EDR)
– Windows Event (WINEVTLOG)
You notice that a high volume of ransomware incidents are impacting your team’s SLAs. You need to automate the response to ransomware on Windows devices. How should you automate the detection and containment of ransomware incidents? (Choose two.)

Q54. You have been tasked with developing a new response process in a playbook to contain an endpoint. The new process should take the following actions:
* Send an email to users who do not have a Google Security Operations (SecOps) account to request approval for endpoint containment.
* Automatically continue executing its logic after the user responds.
You plan to implement this process in the playbook by using the Gmail integration. You want to minimize the effort required by the SOC analyst. What should you do?

Q55. You have been tasked with developing a new response process in a playbook to contain an endpoint. The new process should take the following actions:
* Send an email to users who do not have a Google Security Operations (SecOps) account to request approval for endpoint containment.
* Automatically continue executing its logic after the user responds.
You plan to implement this process in the playbook by using the Gmail integration. You want to minimize the effort required by the SOC analyst. What should you do?

Q56. 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?

Q57. You received an IOC from your threat intelligence feed that is identified as a suspicious domain used for command and control (C2). You want to use Google Security Operations (SecOps) to investigate whether this domain appeared in your environment. You want to search for this IOC using the most efficient approach. What should you do?

Q58. Your organization uses Google Security Operations (SecOps) for security analysis and investigation. Your organization has decided that all security cases related to Data Loss Prevention (DLP) events must be categorized with a defined root cause specific to one of five DLP event types when the case is closed in Google SecOps. How should you achieve this?

Q59. Your company uses Security Command Center (SCC) and Google Security Operations (SecOps). Last week, an attacker attempted to establish persistence by generating a key for an unused service account. You need to confirm that you are receiving alerts when keys are created for unused service accounts and that newly created keys are automatically deleted. You want to minimize the amount of manual effort required. What should you do?

Q60. Your company recently adopted Security Command Center (SCC) but is not using Google Security Operations (SecOps). Your organization has thousands of active projects. You need to detect anomalous behavior in your Google Cloud environment by windowing and aggregating data over a given time period, based on specific log events or advanced calculations. You also need to provide an interface for analysts to triage the alerts. How should you build this capability?

Q61. During a high-priority phishing incident at your company, Google Security Operations (SecOps) created and assigned the case to a Tier 1 analyst. The analyst added email headers and attached the malicious file as evidence but failed to escalate the case, violating an internal SLA of
30 minutes for a phishing response. The delay led to multiple users opening the file before containment actions were initiated. You want to optimize the case management workflow for future high-priority incidents. What should you do?

Q62. You are writing a detection rule in Google Security Operations (SecOps) SIEM that sends a risk score to the alert. You have access to Google Threat Intelligence (GTI) data through your Google SecOps subscription. You need to ensure that the threat score output in the detection logic informs the alert’s risk score and is available for future detections. What should you do?

Q63. A SOC team notices repeated outbound HTTPS connections from a Compute Engine instance to an external IP every 60 seconds. CPU usage is normal and no malware signatures trigger. What is the BEST next analytical step?

Q64. Your company’s SOC recently responded to a ransomware incident that began with the execution of a malicious document. EDR tools contained the initial infection. However, multiple privileged service accounts continued to exhibit anomalous behavior, including credential dumping and scheduled task creation. You need to design an automated playbook in Google Security Operations (SecOps) SOAR to minimize dwell time and accelerate containment for future similar attacks. Which action should you take in your Google SecOps SOAR playbook to support containment and escalation?

Q65. Your organization is a Google Security Operations (SecOps) customer. The compliance team requires a weekly export of case resolutions and SLA metrics of high and critical severity cases over the past week. The compliance team’s post-processing scripts require this data to be formatted as tabular data in CSV files, zipped, and delivered to their email each Monday morning. What should you do?

Q66. You were recently hired as a SOC manager at an organization with an existing Google Security Operations (SecOps) implementation. You need to understand the current performance by calculating the mean time to respond or remediate (MTTR) for your cases. What should you do?

Q67. Your company uses Google Security Operations (SecOps) Enterprise and is ingesting various logs. You need to proactively identify potentially compromised user accounts.
