Microsoft AZ-500 Practice Test 114
Question 1130
Multiple resource alerts indicate possible lateral movement but are reviewed separately without correlating shared entities. A review identifies this consequence: Premature dismissal can leave a coordinated compromise uninvestigated. Which remediation most directly restores the intended behavior?
- The controlled remediation is to disable the protection plan because alerts create too many tickets.
- The controlled remediation is to delete every alert after it is generated to reduce workload.
- The controlled remediation is to investigate correlated evidence, contain confirmed threats and verify alert disposition.
- The controlled remediation is to treat a single alert as proof of guilt without collecting corroborating evidence.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:This addresses the observed security problem while providing a verifiable outcome. Defender alerts are indicators that require triage and context before determining incident scope.
Incorrect Answers
A:Disable the protection plan because alerts create too many tickets. This would not reliably restore the intended security boundary. Premature dismissal can leave a coordinated compromise uninvestigated. The appropriate controlled recovery is: Investigate correlated evidence, contain confirmed threats and verify alert disposition.
B:Delete every alert after it is generated to reduce workload. This would not reliably restore the intended security boundary. Premature dismissal can leave a coordinated compromise uninvestigated. The appropriate controlled recovery is: Investigate correlated evidence, contain confirmed threats and verify alert disposition.
D:Treat a single alert as proof of guilt without collecting corroborating evidence. This would not reliably restore the intended security boundary. Premature dismissal can leave a coordinated compromise uninvestigated. The appropriate controlled recovery is: Investigate correlated evidence, contain confirmed threats and verify alert disposition.
Question 1131
An organization wants a critical Defender for Cloud alert to open a ticket but current alerts never trigger the required playbook. Which configuration decision MOST directly resolves the issue?
- Grant the automation unrestricted deletion rights across all subscriptions.
- Configure scoped Defender for Cloud workflow automation and an authorized Logic App response.
- Assume creating a Logic App automatically subscribes it to every Defender alert.
- Turn off audit logs for automation so runs do not appear as noise.
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:Confirm the change against these records: Workflow automation trigger filters, Logic App run history, role permissions and output ticket. Defender workflow automation can connect supported security alerts or recommendations to controlled Logic Apps.
Incorrect Answers
A:Poorly scoped triggers can either miss critical findings or create unwanted automated actions. In the given case, an organization wants a critical Defender for Cloud alert to open a ticket but current alerts never trigger the required playbook.
C:That option would assume creating a Logic App automatically subscribes it to every Defender alert, but it addresses a different concern. Defender workflow automation can connect supported security alerts or recommendations to controlled Logic Apps.
D:Poorly scoped triggers can either miss critical findings or create unwanted automated actions. The intended action is: Configure scoped Defender for Cloud workflow automation and an authorized Logic App response.
Question 1132
