Google Chrome-Enterprise-Administrator Professional Chrome Enterprise Administrator Certification Exam Exam Practice Test

Chrome's Safe Browsing feature actively scans web pages, downloads, and extensions for known malware. When malware is detected, it is reported as a security event. While unauthorized file downloads could be a consequence of a security issue, Chrome's direct detection focuses on the malware itself. Password complexity is a setting for password management, and user inactivity is a system or application-level event, not a direct security event captured by Chrome in the same way as malware detection.

===========

When viewing applied Chrome policies in the `chrome://policy` internal page, policies enforced through Chrome Enterprise Core (the cloud management console) will typically be labeled with a "Source" of "Cloud." If the administrator has enforced the policy, the "Level" will likely be "Mandatory," indicating that users cannot change this setting. "Platform" would refer to policies set locally on the operating system (like Group Policy on Windows). "Recommended" policies are suggestions that users can typically override.

===========

Policy conflicts can arise if the same policy is configured at multiple levels with different values. User group policies have a higher precedence than OU policies. Therefore, if a user within the Finance OU is also a member of a group with a conflicting policy setting, the group policy will override the OU policy. Policies at the same hierarchical level do not typically conflict in this way.If the Finance OU has "Locally applied," it would mean it's not inheriting, but it wouldn't explain a *discrepancy* within the OU itself unless multiple local settings were applied. A sub-OU inheriting from Finance wouldn't cause a discrepancy at the Finance OU level.

===========

Given that the MV2 extensions are not critical, and the requirement is to either block or upgrade, the most direct and efficient approach is to configure the "Manifest V2 availability" policy. This policy allows administrators to control the usage of Manifest V2 extensions, including blocking them entirely or allowing them until a specified date. Option A involves manually collecting and blocking each extension, which is less efficient. Option C ("removed") is not a standard installation mode policy. Option D is not a policy that an administrator can directly configure; the upgrade to MV3 is a developer-driven process.

===========

Among the Safe Browsing options, **Enhanced Protection** offers the most robust security. It proactively checks URLs, downloads, and extensions against Google's Safe Browsing database in real time, and it can also share more data with Google to improve detection and provide personalized warnings. This level of protection is best suited for environments with high security requirements. The other options might represent different levels of Safe Browsing with varying degrees of protection.

===========

The Google Admin console allows administrators to control extension permissions. By configuring the "Permissions and URL access" policy, the administrator can block extensions that request specific permissions, such as the ability to set a proxy. This is a centralized and effective way toenforce the security policy. Remotely connecting to each device (option B) is not scalable. Blocking all extensions (option C) might be too restrictive. Relying on users to uninstall (option D) is not enforceable.

===========

A "3rd Party Risk Score" provides an objective assessment of the extension's security and privacy risks, often based on automated analysis of its code, requested permissions, developer reputation, and other factors. This is a more data-driven approach to evaluating safety compared to simply counting permissions (which doesn't account for the sensitivity of each permission), the Manifest version (which indicates features but not necessarily safety), or Chrome Web Store ratings (whichare subjective and can be manipulated).

===========

While not directly stating "enforce to the latest major stable version," the "Auto-update check period" policy, when configured appropriately (shorter intervals), ensures that devices check for andapply updates more frequently. This increases the likelihood of browsers reaching and staying closer to the latest stable version over time. "Rollback to target version" is for reverting updates, "Component updates" manages specific browser components, and "Relaunch notification" prompts users to restart after an update.

===========

To minimize disruption while ensuring updates are applied, an engineer can configure a "Relaunch window" in the Relaunch notification settings. This allows users to be prompted to restart within a specific timeframe that is less likely to interrupt their critical work hours, giving them more control over when the restart occurs after an update. Disabling automatic updates (option A) would compromise security. Adding a quiet period (option B) only suppresses notifications, not the forced restart. Setting the auto-update check policy to occur during core work hours (option C) affects when updates are downloaded, not when the restart occurs.

===========

To target all updates within the 129 major version, the administrator should use the target version prefix `129.`. This tells Chrome to stay within the 129 branch and accept minor updates (like 129.0.x.y to 129.1.x.y) but not to upgrade to the next major version (130). The other options are not the correct syntax for specifying a major version prefix for target updates.

===========

The Chrome Insights Report in the Google Admin console provides visibility into the managed Chrome browser environment. Key report types available here include "Browsers pending updates" to identify devices needing patching, "Browsers without activity in the past 28 days" to understand browser usage, and "Browsers that have been recently enrolled" for monitoring onboarding. The other options list reports that are either not specific to Chrome Insights or related to device hardware rather than browser status.

===========

To allow users to install extensions while blocking those with specific risky permissions, the administrator should "Allow all apps" from the Chrome Web Store and then use the "Block extensions by permission" policy to block extensions that request the "File System" permission. This prevents extensions from accessing local files. Option A is too restrictive by blocking all apps by default. Options B and D use "Runtime Blocked Hosts," which is for controlling access to specific websites, not for blocking extension permissions.

===========

The scenario describes vulnerabilities that could allow cross-site data leakage within the browser's memory. "Site isolation for every website" is a security feature in Chrome that isolates the rendering process for each website, preventing one site from accessing the data of another, even if a vulnerability is exploited. This policy directly addresses the risk of cross-site information leakage due to memory vulnerabilities. Option A relates to TLS security, option B is a general security best practice but doesn't directly prevent cross-site memory access, and option C manages extension behavior, not core browser memory isolation.

===========

To prevent extensions from modifying the internal homepage, the administrator should add `*.acme.com` to the "Runtime blocked hosts" list. The wildcard `*` ensures that any attempt to access or modify this domain by an extension will be blocked at runtime. Additionally, to disable access to storage and history, the administrator needs to explicitly disable the "Storage" and "History" permissions within the extension management settings. Therefore, the correct combination is to block the host and disable the permissions.

===========

The Chrome release cycle for the Stable channel is approximately every four weeks. This consistent schedule allows administrators to anticipate and plan for new feature deployments and potential compatibility testing. While security updates can occur more frequently and are often released on Tuesdays, major version updates follow this roughly monthly cadence.
