Google Cloud Professional Security Operations Engineer — Question 20

Your organization plans to ingest logs from an on-premises MySQL database as a new log source into its Google Security Operations (SecOps) instance. You need to create a solution that minimizes effort. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Configure a third-party API feed in Google SecOps.
• B. Configure direct ingestion from your Google Cloud organization.
• C. Configure and deploy a Google SecOps forwarder.
• D. Configure and deploy a Bindplane collection agent.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as the Bindplane collection agent is specifically designed for collecting logs from various sources, including on-premises databases, with minimal configuration. The other options, while potentially useful for different scenarios, would require more effort and configuration changes, making them less optimal for this specific use case.
