You have deployed a new public web application that allows users to register and login with email ids, phone numbers, or user ids. You are seeing some unusual activity with user registrations and logins from a few IPs. A large number of accounts were created very quickly. Logins are also happening quickly thereafter from these new accounts. Different parts of the application are being explored, all of which are putting a heavy load on the application .
What could be a problem and how can you solve it?
- A . A hacker group has hired a bunch of people to create accounts and manually use the system. Use Cloud Asset Inventory to see if there have been changes in the inventory.
B . Bots are creating accounts and then using them. Use Google Cloud's Web App and API Protection (WAAP).
C . Bots are creating accounts and then using them. Use Identity-Aware Proxy to restrict the users to known users.
D . Automated testing tools might still be running and creating accounts. Use Identity-Aware Proxy to restrict the users to known users.
Suggested Answer: B
Explanation:
Bots attacking the application is the most likely scenario in this case. Using WAAP is the right protection plan: Anti-DDoS, anti-bot, WAF, and API protection help you protect against new and existing threats while helping you keep your apps and APIs compliant and continuously available.
