Mandatory Component for GCP Connector Configuration in Azure Defender

Correct Answer: A.

Option A is correct.

The integration of GCP in Azure Defender leverages Google Security Command Center and is required for data to be available.

Option B,C & D are incorrect.

These are later steps when configuring GCP connector in Azure Defender.

Reference:

Azure Defender for GCP (Google Cloud Platform) provides security insights into your GCP infrastructure by integrating with GCP services. When configuring the GCP Connector in Azure Defender, it is mandatory to have already configured the GCP Security Command Center.

The GCP Security Command Center is a Google Cloud service that helps users gather data, identify threats, and act on them before they become an issue. It provides visibility across the entire Google Cloud environment, including GCP projects, Google Kubernetes Engine clusters, and Cloud Storage buckets.

Azure Defender leverages the GCP Security Command Center to collect security data and alerts from your GCP environment. Once the GCP Security Command Center is configured, the Azure Defender GCP Connector can access the security data and provide security insights and recommendations.

Therefore, the correct answer to this question is A. GCP Security Command Center. Options B and C are incorrect because the Security Hub is an AWS service and the Google Cloud Console API is used to interact with GCP resources programmatically but is not mandatory for the GCP Connector configuration in Azure Defender. Option D is also incorrect because only option A is mandatory.
