A customer needs to launch a 3-tier internal web application on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The customer's internal compliance requirements dictate that end-user access may only be allowed if the traffic seems to originate from a specific known good CIDR. The customer accepts the risk that their application will only have SYN flood DDoS protection. They want to use GCP's native SYN flood protection.
Which product should be used to meet these requirements?
An organization's typical network and security review consists of analyzing application transit routes, request handling, and firewall rules. They want to enable their developer teams to deploy new applications without the overhead of this full review.
How should you advise this organization?
Your company wants to determine what products they can build to help customers improve their credit scores depending on their age range. To achieve this, you need to join user information in the company's banking app with customers' credit score data received from a third party. While using this raw data will allow you to complete this task, it exposes sensitive data, which could be propagated into new systems.
This risk needs to be addressed using de-identification and tokenization with Cloud Data Loss Prevention while maintaining the referential integrity across the database. Which cryptographic token format should you use to meet these requirements?

FPE provides fewer security guarantees compared to other deterministic encryption methods such as AES-SIV. For these reasons, Google strongly recommends using deterministic encryption with AES-SIV instead of FPE for all security sensitive use cases. Other methods like deterministic encryption using AES-SIV provide these stronger security guarantees and are recommended for tokenization use cases unless length and character set preservation are strict requirements---for example, for backward compatibility with a legacy data system.
A customer wants to move their sensitive workloads to a Compute Engine-based cluster using Managed Instance Groups (MIGs). The jobs are bursty and must be completed quickly. They have a requirement to be able to manage and rotate the encryption keys.
Which boot disk encryption solution should you use on the cluster to meet this customer's requirements?

Your security team wants to implement a defense-in-depth approach to protect sensitive data stored in a Cloud Storage bucket. Your team has the following requirements:
The Cloud Storage bucket in Project A can only be readable from Project B.
The Cloud Storage bucket in Project A cannot be accessed from outside the network.
Data in the Cloud Storage bucket cannot be copied to an external Cloud Storage bucket.
What should the security team do?
VPC Peering is between organizations not between Projects in an organization. That is Shared VPC. In this case, both projects are in same organization so having VPC Service Controls around both projects with necessary rules should be fine.
