Question #: 94
Topic #: 3
[All Professional Cloud Network Engineer Questions]

Your team is developing an application that will be used by consumers all over the world. Currently, the application sits behind a global external application load balancer You need to protect the application from potential application-level attacks. What should you do?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The correct answer is C because it meets the requirement of protecting the application from potential application-level attacks.Google Cloud Armor security policies are sets of rules that match on attributes from Layer 3 to Layer 7 to protect externally facing applications1.Web application firewall (WAF) rules are predefined rules that detect and mitigate common web attacks such as cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, remote file inclusion, and more2. By applying a Google Cloud Armor security policy with WAF rules to the backend service, you can filter out malicious requests before they reach your application.

Option A is incorrect because Cloud CDN is a content delivery network that caches static content at the edge of Google's network, but it does not provide any protection against application-level attacks3.Option B is incorrect because firewall rules are applied at the VPC network level, not at the load balancer level4.Firewall rules also only match on Layer 3 and 4 attributes, not on Layer 7 attributes that are relevant for application-level attacks4. Option D is incorrect because VPC Service Controls perimeter is a feature that helps you secure your data from unauthorized access by users outside your organization, but it does not protect your application from external attacks.

I'm not sure, option B also sounds like a good way to block malicious users.

I'm feeling a bit hungry just thinking about all these options. Maybe we should order some pizza and hash this out over a slice or two?

Hold up, Option D with the VPC Service Controls sounds interesting too. Gotta keep those backend services locked down, you know?

Option C looks like the way to go. A web application firewall can really help protect against those pesky application-level attacks.
