Google Cloud Professional Cloud Security Engineer — Question 31

A large e-retailer is moving to Google Cloud Platform with its ecommerce website. The company wants to ensure payment information is encrypted between the customer's browser and GCP when the customers checkout online.
What should they do?

Answer options

• A. Configure an SSL Certificate on an L7 Load Balancer and require encryption.
• B. Configure an SSL Certificate on a Network TCP Load Balancer and require encryption.
• C. Configure the firewall to allow inbound traffic on port 443, and block all other inbound traffic.
• D. Configure the firewall to allow outbound traffic on port 443, and block all other outbound traffic.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because configuring an SSL Certificate on an L7 Load Balancer ensures that HTTPS traffic is properly managed and encrypted at the application layer. Option B is incorrect as a Network TCP Load Balancer does not handle SSL termination, while options C and D focus on firewall rules that do not directly address the need for encryption of payment information during checkout.
