Google Cloud Professional Cloud Security Engineer — Question 224

Your company is concerned about unauthorized parties gaining access to the Google Cloud environment by using a fake login page. You must implement a solution to protect against person-in-the-middle attacks.

Which security measure should you use?

Answer options

• A. Security key
• B. Google prompt
• C. Text message or phone call code
• D. Google Authenticator application

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as a Security key provides a strong layer of authentication that is resistant to man-in-the-middle attacks. Other options like Google prompt, text message codes, and the Google Authenticator application can still be vulnerable to such attacks since they rely on the user's device or network security.
