Google Workspace Associate Administrator — Question 31

You’ve noticed an increase in phishing emails that contain links to malicious files hosted on external Google Drives. These files often mimic legitimate documents and trick users into granting access to their accounts. You need to prevent users from accessing these malicious external Drive files, but allow them to access legitimate external files. What should you do? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Enforce stricter password policies.
• B. Conduct regular security awareness training to educate users.
• C. Create a Drive trust rule that blocks all external domains except for a pre-approved list of trusted partners.
• D. Deploy advanced malware detection software on all user devices to scan and block malicious files.
• E. Implement two-factor authentication for all users.

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

The correct answers are B and C. Conducting regular security awareness training helps users recognize phishing attempts, while creating a Drive trust rule allows only approved external domains, effectively blocking harmful links. Options A, D, and E, while beneficial for overall security, do not specifically address the issue of preventing access to malicious external Drive files.
