Question 750

A managed SQL database needs an approved customer-managed TDE protector with valid Key Vault permissions. A review identifies this consequence: An invalid TDE protector can make the database unavailable or leave the planned key-control requirement unmet. Which recovery action addresses the underlying technical fault?

  1. The controlled remediation is to delete the key vault protector before validating SQL recovery support.
  2. The controlled remediation is to enable HTTPS for a web API and assume SQL database storage is encrypted by that alone.
  3. The controlled remediation is to change a Dynamic Data Masking rule to provide file-level database encryption.
  4. The controlled remediation is to restore valid TDE protector access and confirm encrypted database status.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Test using these records: TDE state, server encryption protector, Key Vault identity and encrypted database files or backup status. TDE encrypts supported database data at rest and is separate from client transport TLS and column-level encryption.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Delete the key vault protector before validating SQL recovery support. This would not reliably restore the intended security boundary. An invalid TDE protector can make the database unavailable or leave the planned key-control requirement unmet. The appropriate controlled recovery is: Restore valid TDE protector access and confirm encrypted database status.

B:

Enable HTTPS for a web API and assume SQL database storage is encrypted by that alone. This would not reliably restore the intended security boundary. An invalid TDE protector can make the database unavailable or leave the planned key-control requirement unmet. The appropriate controlled recovery is: Restore valid TDE protector access and confirm encrypted database status.

C:

Change a Dynamic Data Masking rule to provide file-level database encryption. This would not reliably restore the intended security boundary. An invalid TDE protector can make the database unavailable or leave the planned key-control requirement unmet. The appropriate controlled recovery is: Restore valid TDE protector access and confirm encrypted database status.

Question 751

An application stores highly sensitive national identifiers and wants database operators unable to view plaintext columns. What is the most defensible Azure security action?

  1. Configure supported Azure SQL Always Encrypted columns and protect column master keys on authorized clients.
  2. Use only Dynamic Data Masking and claim the database engine never sees plaintext.
  3. Give SQL administrators all column master keys for convenience.
  4. Assume enabling TDE automatically encrypts every client query result end to end.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Confirm the change against these records: Encrypted column definitions, client driver behavior, key metadata and authorized decrypt versus unauthorized query. Always Encrypted protects selected column plaintext outside the SQL engine using client-side cryptographic operations.

Incorrect Answers

B:

TDE alone does not prevent a privileged SQL engine from processing plaintext queried columns. Use only Dynamic Data Masking and claim the database engine never sees plaintext.

C:

Give SQL administrators all column master keys for convenience. The proposed change targets the wrong mechanism or lacks essential validation. Always Encrypted protects selected column plaintext outside the SQL engine using client-side cryptographic operations. Relevant evidence is encrypted column definitions, client driver behavior, key metadata and authorized decrypt versus unauthorized query.

D:

TDE alone does not prevent a privileged SQL engine from processing plaintext queried columns. The intended action is: Configure supported Azure SQL Always Encrypted columns and protect column master keys on authorized clients.

Question 752

An application stores highly sensitive national identifiers and wants database operators unable to view plaintext columns. Which diagnostic record would most strongly confirm the result?

  1. The identity name without a corresponding workload data authorization test.
  2. An outdated deployment template without current effective settings.
  3. A powered-on VM status without the actual guest or data-plane security state.
  4. Encrypted column definitions, client driver behavior, key metadata and authorized decrypt versus unauthorized query.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

These records test the actual always Encrypted client-side column protection behavior rather than an unrelated dashboard state. Always Encrypted protects selected column plaintext outside the SQL engine using client-side cryptographic operations.

Incorrect Answers

A:

On its own, that evidence does not prove the specified security control works. The more relevant observations are: Encrypted column definitions, client driver behavior, key metadata and authorized decrypt versus unauthorized query.

B:

On its own, that evidence does not prove the specified security control works. Always Encrypted protects selected column plaintext outside the SQL engine using client-side cryptographic operations.

C:

On its own, that evidence does not prove the specified security control works. In the given case, an application stores highly sensitive national identifiers and wants database operators unable to view plaintext columns.

Question 753

An application stores highly sensitive national identifiers and wants database operators unable to view plaintext columns. Which platform concept should guide the engineer’s assessment?

  1. Always Encrypted protects selected column plaintext outside the SQL engine using client-side cryptographic operations.
  2. A running compute resource automatically enforces least-privilege Kubernetes permissions.
  3. A valid Azure management role always gives full access to every blob object and SQL row.
  4. Encrypting network transport guarantees all storage at-rest and column-level security requirements.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Confirmation depends on Encrypted column definitions, client driver behavior, key metadata and authorized decrypt versus unauthorized query. This principle supports the security response: Configure supported Azure SQL Always Encrypted columns and protect column master keys on authorized clients.

Incorrect Answers

B:

A running compute resource automatically enforces least-privilege Kubernetes permissions. This is an incorrect assumption for always Encrypted client-side column protection. The relevant security behavior is: Always Encrypted protects selected column plaintext outside the SQL engine using client-side cryptographic operations. Check evidence such as encrypted column definitions, client driver behavior, key metadata and authorized decrypt versus unauthorized query.

C:

A valid Azure management role always gives full access to every blob object and SQL row. This is an incorrect assumption for always Encrypted client-side column protection. The relevant security behavior is: Always Encrypted protects selected column plaintext outside the SQL engine using client-side cryptographic operations. Check evidence such as encrypted column definitions, client driver behavior, key metadata and authorized decrypt versus unauthorized query.

D:

Encrypting network transport guarantees all storage at-rest and column-level security requirements. This is an incorrect assumption for always Encrypted client-side column protection. The relevant security behavior is: Always Encrypted protects selected column plaintext outside the SQL engine using client-side cryptographic operations. Check evidence such as encrypted column definitions, client driver behavior, key metadata and authorized decrypt versus unauthorized query.

Question 754

An application stores highly sensitive national identifiers and wants database operators unable to view plaintext columns. Suppose the operator instead follows this unsafe shortcut: Use only Dynamic Data Masking and claim the database engine never sees plaintext. Which root-cause observation follows from that incorrect change?

  1. Collecting VM diagnostic data caused the original unauthorized storage read.
  2. Keeping historic blob versions is the cause of the missing RBAC assignment.
  3. TDE alone does not prevent a privileged SQL engine from processing plaintext queried columns.
  4. The security flaw is that the team retained a tested database backup.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The suitable control is: Configure supported Azure SQL Always Encrypted columns and protect column master keys on authorized clients. Always Encrypted protects selected column plaintext outside the SQL engine using client-side cryptographic operations.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This does not explain the real always Encrypted client-side column protection weakness after the shortcut. The material failure is: TDE alone does not prevent a privileged SQL engine from processing plaintext queried columns.

B:

This does not explain the real always Encrypted client-side column protection weakness after the shortcut. Inspect evidence such as encrypted column definitions, client driver behavior, key metadata and authorized decrypt versus unauthorized query.

D:

This does not explain the real always Encrypted client-side column protection weakness after the shortcut. The security flaw is that the team retained a tested database backup.

Question 755

An application stores highly sensitive national identifiers and wants database operators unable to view plaintext columns.
