Exam Security-Operations-Engineer Topic 3 Question 90 Discussion

Actual exam question for Google's Security-Operations-Engineer exam
Question #: 90
Topic #: 3
You have discovered that a server that hosts an internal web application has been accidentally exposed to the internet for 48 hours. Logging is enabled on the server. You want to use Google Security Operations (SecOps) to run a UDM search against the server logs to identify whether there have been any successful exploitations against it. What event field search should you use?

Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer

To check for successful exploitations, you need to look for abnormal process launches and commands that indicate post-exploitation activity. In Google SecOps UDM, this is done by searching with the metadata.event_type field, which classifies events such as process execution.
Unusual or rarely seen processes provide strong indicators of compromise.
