Microsoft AZ-500 Practice Test 105
Question 1040
A security team expects Microsoft Defender for Storage malware scan results but relevant storage account settings were not enabled. A review identifies this consequence: Allowing all uploaded files into processing before handling threat verdicts can spread harmful content. What is the BEST controlled recovery once this failure is recognized?
- The controlled remediation is to trust a file extension as proof the uploaded bytes are harmless.
- The controlled remediation is to assume storage at-rest encryption automatically scans uploaded files for malware.
- The controlled remediation is to disable all blob access restrictions as the required prerequisite to scan content.
- The controlled remediation is to enable scanning and validate safe handling of clean and malicious test outcomes.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:Test using these records: Storage protection plan, malware scan verdict, event delivery and quarantine decision. Defender for Storage can provide supported blob malware scanning and suspicious storage activity detection.
Incorrect Answers
A:Trust a file extension as proof the uploaded bytes are harmless. This would not reliably restore the intended security boundary. Allowing all uploaded files into processing before handling threat verdicts can spread harmful content. The appropriate controlled recovery is: Enable scanning and validate safe handling of clean and malicious test outcomes.
B:Assume storage at-rest encryption automatically scans uploaded files for malware. This would not reliably restore the intended security boundary. Allowing all uploaded files into processing before handling threat verdicts can spread harmful content. The appropriate controlled recovery is: Enable scanning and validate safe handling of clean and malicious test outcomes.

Question 1041
An Azure SQL database processes sensitive data but the intended Defender for SQL threat detection is disabled. What is the BEST supported implementation or corrective action?
- Enable the relevant database workload protection plan and configure alert review for supported SQL resources.
- Assume SQL Transparent Data Encryption alone detects credential misuse.
- Disable SQL auditing and every other monitoring source because Defender is enabled.
- Grant all users database sysadmin so detection rules produce fewer authorization errors.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:Confirm the change against these records: Defender for SQL coverage, database resource identifiers, generated alert and activity correlation. Database threat protection adds supported monitoring and security findings beyond basic SQL authentication.
Incorrect Answers
B:A database with TDE enabled can still experience anomalous queries and account abuse. In the given case, an Azure SQL database processes sensitive data but the intended Defender for SQL threat detection is disabled.
C:Disable SQL auditing and every other monitoring source because Defender is enabled. The proposed change targets the wrong mechanism or lacks essential validation. Database threat protection adds supported monitoring and security findings beyond basic SQL authentication. Relevant evidence is Defender for SQL coverage, database resource identifiers, generated alert and activity correlation.
