Question 1010

A finance-driven plan change silently removes threat protection for several production resource types. A review identifies this consequence: A supported cloud resource can be inventoried while relevant threat-protection features are not enabled. Which remediation most directly restores the intended behavior?

  1. The controlled remediation is to grant portal Reader to every user as a replacement for workload plans.
  2. The controlled remediation is to assume a subscription has full workload threat detection because the free posture dashboard opens.
  3. The controlled remediation is to disable Defender protections to reduce alert volume without risk approval.
  4. The controlled remediation is to restore authorized protection plans and verify expected resource coverage and alert signals.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Defender for Cloud workload protections are plan and coverage dependent rather than universal by default. Test using these records: Plan and pricing settings, subscription or resource scope, current protected asset list and alert diagnostics.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Grant portal Reader to every user as a replacement for workload plans. This would not reliably restore the intended security boundary. A supported cloud resource can be inventoried while relevant threat-protection features are not enabled. The appropriate controlled recovery is: Restore authorized protection plans and verify expected resource coverage and alert signals.

B:

Assume a subscription has full workload threat detection because the free posture dashboard opens. This would not reliably restore the intended security boundary. A supported cloud resource can be inventoried while relevant threat-protection features are not enabled. The appropriate controlled recovery is: Restore authorized protection plans and verify expected resource coverage and alert signals.

C:

Disable Defender protections to reduce alert volume without risk approval. This would not reliably restore the intended security boundary. A supported cloud resource can be inventoried while relevant threat-protection features are not enabled. The appropriate controlled recovery is: Restore authorized protection plans and verify expected resource coverage and alert signals.

Question 1011

A newly provisioned Azure VM has unassessed software vulnerabilities because the expected agentless scan scope is not enabled. Which configuration decision MOST directly resolves the issue?

  1. Install an unrelated web application firewall to scan VM disks.
  2. Assume disabling all Defender plans still permits full agentless vulnerability analysis.
  3. Treat a healthy VM power state as proof the guest disk was scanned.
  4. Enable supported agentless machine scanning and required Defender for Servers plan settings.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Supported Defender for Servers agentless scanning can assess eligible machine disks without a continuously installed guest agent. Confirm the change against these records: Agentless scanning coverage, VM eligibility, security findings and scan history.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Assuming every VM is assessed regardless of plan eligibility or scanning policy can leave blind spots.

B:

Assume disabling all Defender plans still permits full agentless vulnerability analysis. The proposed change targets the wrong mechanism or lacks essential validation. Supported Defender for Servers agentless scanning can assess eligible machine disks without a continuously installed guest agent. Relevant evidence is agentless scanning coverage, VM eligibility, security findings and scan history.

C:

Assuming every VM is assessed regardless of plan eligibility or scanning policy can leave blind spots. The intended action is: Enable supported agentless machine scanning and required Defender for Servers plan settings.

Question 1012

A newly provisioned Azure VM has unassessed software vulnerabilities because the expected agentless scan scope is not enabled. What evidence most directly confirms the intended security behavior?
