Exam Security-Operations-Engineer Topic 2 Question 90 Discussion

Actual exam question for Google's Security-Operations-Engineer exam
Question #: 90
Topic #: 2
Your Google Security Operations (SecOps) instance is generating a high volume of alerts related to an IP address that recently appeared in a threat intelligence feed. The IP address is flagged as a known command and control (C2) server by multiple vendors. The IP address appears in repeated DNS queries originating from a sandboxing system and test environment used by your malware analysis team. You want to avoid alert fatigue while preserving visibility in the event that the IOC reappears in real production telemetry. What should you do?

Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer

The correct approach is to add an exception in the detection rule that excludes matches from the sandboxing and test environment asset groups. This prevents alert fatigue by suppressing non- production noise, while still maintaining full visibility and alerting if the same IOC reappears in real production telemetry.
