Google Security-Operations-Engineer Exam: Your Questions Answered

To pass the Security-Operations-Engineer exam you need Not publicly disclosed (Pass/Fail only), and the official registration fee is $200 USD (plus tax where applicable).

Work through the ValidVCE practice questions until your timed scores sit comfortably above Not publicly disclosed (Pass/Fail only), and only then lock in your exam date.

Question #2

- 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 amount of effort required by the SOC analyst. What should you do?

  • A. Set the containment action to 'Manual' and assign the action to the user to execute or skip the containment action.
  • B. Set the containment action to 'Manual' and assign the action to the appropriate tier. Contact the user by email to request approval. The analyst chooses to execute or skip the containment action.
  • C. Generate an approval link for the containment action and include the placeholder in the body of the 'Send Email' action. Configure additional playbook logic to manage approved or denied containment actions.
  • D. Use the 'Send Email' action to send an email requesting approval to contain the endpoint, and use the 'Wait For Thread Reply' action to receive the result. The analyst manually contains the endpoint.

Question #4

A Google Security Operations (SecOps) detection rule is generating frequent false positive alerts.
The rule was designed to detect suspicious Cloud Storage enumeration by triggering an alert whenever the storage.objects.list API operation is called using the api.operation UDM field.
However, a legitimate backup automation tool that uses the same API, causing the rule to fire unnecessarily. You need to reduce these false positives from this trusted backup tool while still detecting potentially malicious usage. How should you modify the rule to improve its accuracy?

  • A. Adjust the rule severity to LOWto deprioritize alerts from automation tools.
  • B. Add principal.user.email != "[email protected]" to the rule condition to exclude the automation account.
  • C. Convert the rule into a multi-event rule that looks for repeated API calls across multiple buckets.
  • D. Replace api.operation with api.service_name = "storage.googleapis.com" to narrow the detection scope.

  • B. Perform a UDM search for login events, and pivot to group results by user and country of origin.
  • C. Perform a YARA-L 2.0 search for login events and their associated principal.location.country field.
