GCP Professional Cloud Security Engineer Practice Question

Your company operates Compute Engine instances in a regional subnet behind a regional external HTTP(S) load balancer that terminates TLS. Regional Cloud NGFW network firewall policies already enforce Layer-4 rules on the VPC. The security team must detect and block Layer-7 exploits such as Log4Shell in real time, avoid adding proxy VMs or changing the load balancer, and preserve the existing regional policy hierarchy. Which approach satisfies these requirements?

  • Add an IPS threat prevention profile to the existing regional Cloud NGFW firewall policy rule that targets the API backend subnet, enabling automatic block mode for critical and high-severity signatures.

  • Replace the regional network firewall policy with a new global policy that contains Layer-4 allow rules and rely on the external HTTP(S) load balancer's built-in WAF capabilities only.

  • Create a new VM-based proxy cluster running open-source Suricata, route all API traffic through the proxy, and manage Suricata signature updates manually.

  • Enable Cloud NGFW threat intelligence deny lists on the policy to block known malicious IP addresses attempting to reach the API service.
