Microsoft DP-800 Practice Test 37
Question 360
Seabrook University is responsible for an Azure SQL or Microsoft SQL workload. A service encrypts rows with a manually copied symmetric key. Operational evidence: Key material is distributed to several developer machines. What operational condition would provide the earliest useful regression warning?
- Monitor API denied requests and role drift
- Monitor encryption state and key expiry
- Monitor denied vault calls and impending key expiry
- Monitor endpoint calls and credential changes
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:
Key material is distributed to several developer machines. Monitor denied vault calls and impending key expiry.
Incorrect Answers
A:
“Monitor API denied requests and role drift” concerns Default or overly broad role mappings permit unintended writes; the reported problem instead is Key material is distributed to several developer machines. Monitor denied vault calls and impending key expiry.
B:
“Monitor encryption state and key expiry” concerns Storage backup compromise could expose plaintext pages; the reported problem instead is Key material is distributed to several developer machines. Monitor denied vault calls and impending key expiry.
D:
“Monitor endpoint calls and credential changes” concerns Static API keys in scripts are exposed in source control; the reported problem instead is Key material is distributed to several developer machines. Monitor denied vault calls and impending key expiry.
Question 361
At Atlas Publishing, a SQL database contains unknown sensitive columns. The observed constraint is: Teams cannot apply proper controls without data inventory. What initial check best narrows the technical cause without altering business data?
