GCP Professional Cloud Security Engineer Practice Question

Your public e-commerce site sits behind a global external HTTP(S) load balancer. A recent attack sent millions of HTTP POST requests from thousands of IPs, exhausting back-ends, while logs showed SQL injection and cross-site-scripting probes. You need a Google-managed defense that 1) automatically detects and stops large Layer-7 DDoS floods with no manual tuning, 2) blocks common OWASP Top-10 threats, and 3) requires no change to the current load-balancer architecture. Which Cloud Armor-based action satisfies all requirements?

  • Replace the external HTTP(S) load balancer with an internal HTTP(S) load balancer and use VPC firewall rules to filter malicious requests.

  • Enable Cloud Armor in preview (monitoring-only) mode and manually review logs daily to add new custom rules when attacks occur.

  • Create a Cloud Armor security policy that contains only a deny rule listing the botnet's source IP addresses.

  • Attach a Cloud Armor security policy to the load balancer's backend service, enable Adaptive Protection, and activate Google-managed preconfigured WAF rules in blocking mode.
