Wait, can we really enforce session timeouts? Sounds tricky!

Disabling APIs seems a bit extreme for this issue.

I’m not sure a policy will actually stop people from leaving their laptops open.

I think option D makes the most sense because it directly addresses the risk of unattended sessions.

I practiced a similar question where we had to secure user sessions, and I think requiring strong passwords and 2SV is important, but it might not solve the unattended laptop issue directly.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like just telling employees not to leave their sessions open might not be enough.

I feel pretty confident about this one. Requiring strong passwords and 2-factor authentication (option C) is a solid way to secure access, even if the laptop is left unattended for a bit.

Okay, I think the key here is preventing unauthorized access to the employee's environment if their laptop is left unattended. So I'd go with option D to set a shorter session timeout for Google Cloud services.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'd want to make sure I understand the full context and implications of each option before choosing. Maybe I'll make a quick list of the pros and cons for each.

This seems like a straightforward security question. I'd focus on options that directly address the issue of unattended laptops, like setting a shorter session timeout.

I'm pretty confident that VLAN is the right answer here. Separating the data plane paths for the two servers is exactly what VLANs are designed for.

Ooh, I like the sound of option C. Gotta keep those credentials locked down tight. But maybe I should also consider hiding the laptops in a lead-lined safe... just in case.

I'm all about that option D! Shorter session timeouts are the way to keep those wandering laptops secure. Who needs to be logged in for hours, am I right?

Wow, this is a tricky one! I'm torn between C and D, but I think C might be the way to go. Strong passwords and 2SV are just good security hygiene, you know?
