Your company wants to determine what products they can build to help customers improve their credit scores depending on their age range. To achieve this, you need to join user information in the company's banking app with customers' credit score data received from a third party.

Production applications are stored and accessed using service accounts. Your proposed solution must:
✑ Provide granular access to secrets
✑ Give you control over the rotation schedules for the encryption keys that wrap your secrets
✑ Maintain environment separation
✑ Provide ease of management
Which approach should you take?

You are a security engineer at a finance company. Your organization plans to store data on Google Cloud, but your leadership team is worried about the security of their highly sensitive data.

✑ Replicate user and group lifecycle changes from the on-premises LDAP server in Cloud Identity.
✑ Disable any manually created users in Cloud Identity.
You have already configured the LDAP search attributes to include the users and security groups in scope for Google Cloud. What should you do next to complete this solution?

You are troubleshooting access denied errors between Compute Engine instances connected to a Shared VPC and BigQuery datasets. The datasets reside in a project protected by a VPC Service Controls perimeter. What should you do?
