Exam Security-Operations-Engineer Topic 5 Question 90 Discussion

Actual exam question for Google's Security-Operations-Engineer exam
Question #: 90
Topic #: 5
Your company's SOC recently responded to a ransomware incident that began with the execution of a malicious document. EDR tools contained the initial infection. However, multiple privileged service accounts continued to exhibit anomalous behavior, including credential dumping and scheduled task creation. You need to design an automated playbook in Google Security Operations (SecOps) SOAR to minimize dwell time and accelerate containment for future similar attacks. Which action should you take in your Google SecOps SOAR playbook to support containment and escalation?

Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer

To minimize dwell time and contain privileged account abuse in ransomware incidents, the SOAR playbook should revoke OAuth tokens and suspend sessions for high-privilege accounts based on entity risk. This action directly disrupts attacker persistence and lateral movement while automated escalation ensures timely response, reducing reliance on manual intervention.
