GCP Professional Cloud Security Engineer Practice Question

Your security team must inspect all outbound HTTPS traffic from production VMs for malware before it leaves the VPC. Using Google Cloud NGFW, you must (a) transparently decrypt, inspect, and re-encrypt TLS sessions with no VM changes, (b) block malicious flows, and (c) avoid hair-pin latency by keeping inspection distributed in-line rather than routing to a centralized appliance. Which configuration meets these requirements?

  • Create a network firewall policy that enables a TLS inspection policy and applies an Intrusion Prevention Service (IPS) rule set to egress traffic from the production subnet, then attach the policy to the VPC network.

  • Add a high-priority egress firewall rule that ALLOWs tcp:443 from the production subnet to 0.0.0.0/0 and rely on Cloud Armor for inspection.

  • Deploy a proxy VM with a third-party NGFW image and route the production subnet's default route to the proxy's internal IP address.

  • Enable VPC Flow Logs at the subnet level and configure log-based alerting to flag any egress connection that matches known malware IPs.
