Question

Your organization has two VPC Service Controls service perimeters, Perimeter-A and Perimeter- B, in Google Cloud. You want to allow data to be copied from a Cloud Storage bucket in Perimeter-A to another Cloud Storage bucket in Perimeter-B. You must minimize exfiltration risk, only allow required connections, and follow the principle of least privilege. What should you do?

Options

  • AConfigure a perimeter bridge between Perimeter-A and Perimeter-B, and specify the Cloud
  • BConfigure a perimeter bridge between the projects hosting the Cloud Storage buckets in
  • CConfigure an egress rule for the Cloud Storage bucket in Perimeter-A and a corresponding
  • DConfigure a bidirectional egress/ingress rule for the Cloud Storage buckets in Perimeter-A and

Why each option

To allow data transfer from a Cloud Storage bucket in Perimeter-A to Perimeter-B within VPC Service Controls, configure an egress rule for Perimeter-A and a corresponding ingress rule for Perimeter-B.

AConfigure a perimeter bridge between Perimeter-A and Perimeter-B, and specify the Cloud

Configuring a perimeter bridge allows broader project-level communication between perimeters, which might grant more access than strictly necessary for a specific data copy operation between two buckets, thus violating the principle of least privilege.

BConfigure a perimeter bridge between the projects hosting the Cloud Storage buckets in

Configuring a perimeter bridge between projects is similar to A and provides broader access than required, which does not align with minimizing exfiltration risk and following the principle of least privilege for a specific data transfer.

CConfigure an egress rule for the Cloud Storage bucket in Perimeter-A and a correspondingCorrect

Configuring an egress rule on Perimeter-A to specifically allow traffic to the Cloud Storage service in Perimeter-B, combined with a corresponding ingress rule on Perimeter-B to accept traffic from Perimeter-A, provides precise, least-privilege control for unidirectional data copying. This approach minimizes exfiltration risk by only allowing the explicitly required connection between the specified services and perimeters.

DConfigure a bidirectional egress/ingress rule for the Cloud Storage buckets in Perimeter-A and

Configuring a bidirectional egress/ingress rule would allow data flow in both directions between the buckets, which exceeds the requirement to copy data *from* Perimeter-A *to* Perimeter-B and violates the principle of only allowing required connections.
