[All Professional Cloud Security Engineer Questions]

Your company uses Google Cloud and has publicly exposed network assets. You want to discover the assets and perform a security audit on these assets by using a software tool in the least amount of time.

What should you do?

ARun a platform security scanner on all instances in the organization.

BNotify Google about the pending audit and wait for confirmation before performing the scan.

CContact a Google approved security vendor to perform the audit.

DIdentify all external assets by using Cloud Asset Inventory and then run a network security scanner against them.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Cloud Asset Inventory: Using Cloud Asset Inventory allows you to quickly identify all the external assets and resources in your Google Cloud environment. This includes information about your projects, instances, storage buckets, and more. This step is crucial for understanding the scope of your audit. Network Security Scanner: Once you have identified the external assets, you can run a network security scanner to assess the security of these assets. Network security scanners can help identify vulnerabilities and potential security risks quickly.

Actually, contacting a Google approved security vendor might be the safest option.

I agree with Haley. Running a network security scanner right away is more efficient.

I don't think so. It's quicker to identify the assets using Cloud Asset Inventory first.

But wouldn't it be better to notify Google before performing the scan?

I think we should run a network security scanner against all external assets first.

Yeah, D is definitely the way to go. I mean, who wants to sit around waiting for Google's approval? And running a scanner on every single instance? That's just a waste of time and resources. Cloud Asset Inventory is the way to go, for sure.

I'm leaning towards option D as well. It seems like the most straightforward and time-efficient approach. Plus, I'd rather not have to deal with Google's bureaucracy or pay for a security vendor if we don't have to.

I agree, D is the best option. It's the most efficient and least disruptive approach. Running a platform security scanner on all instances (option A) could be too much of a burden, and waiting for confirmation from Google (option B) could take too long. A Google-approved vendor (option C) might be overkill for this particular scenario.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'd say option D is the way to go - using the Cloud Asset Inventory to identify all the external assets and then running a network security scanner against them. That way, we can get a comprehensive view of our security posture without causing any disruption.
