Your organization is experiencing a distributed Layer 7 denial-of-service attack targeting backend services behind an external Application Load Balancer. Google Cloud Armor Adaptive Protection generates an alert along with a suggested mitigation rule containing a specific Common Expression Language (CEL) expression.
You need to evaluate and remediate this security threat to minimize service risk while ensuring legitimate customer traffic is not inadvertently blocked due to false positives. How should you deploy the suggested recommendation to evaluate its operational impact safely?
Google Cloud Armor Adaptive Protection detects anomalous Layer 7 traffic patterns and automatically generates suggested security rules containing tailored Common Expression Language (CEL) expressions. Deploying a rule in preview mode instructs Cloud Armor to evaluate incoming traffic against the rule and write audit logs without taking active enforcement actions (such as dropping or rejecting traffic).
Preview mode provides the necessary balance between rapid threat response and operational safety. It offers definitive telemetry on rule accuracy while preventing catastrophic disruption of valid customer workloads.
