Google Cloud Professional Cloud Security Engineer PCSE — Topic 1 Question 189

Question

Your application is deployed as a highly available, cross-region solution behind a global external HTTP(S) load balancer. You notice significant spikes in traffic from multiple IP addresses, but it is unknown whether the IPs are malicious. You are concerned about your application's availability. You want to limit traffic from these clients over a specified time interval. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. The correct answer is A. Option A: Configure a throttle action by using Google Cloud Armor to limit the number of requests per client over a specified time interval. Cloud Armor protects applications from DDoS and common web attacks with WAF rules. By spanning multiple Availability Zones / adding redundancy, this option provides the high availability and resilience required.
