Microsoft DP-800 Practice Test 39
Question 380
A database engineer at Brookfield Labs is investigating this case: SQL application credentials are discovered in a committed repository. The relevant finding is: Secrets may have been indexed and copied. What operational condition would provide the earliest useful regression warning?
- Monitor audit pipeline gaps and retention policy
- Monitor anomalous prior token activity
- Monitor token failures and assigned role drift
- Monitor masking policy misunderstanding and overprivileged accounts
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:
Secrets may have been indexed and copied. Monitor anomalous prior token activity.
Incorrect Answers
A:
“Monitor audit pipeline gaps and retention policy” concerns Existing logs cannot identify actor and changed object; the reported problem instead is Secrets may have been indexed and copied. Monitor anomalous prior token activity.
C:
“Monitor token failures and assigned role drift” concerns Password rotation breaks the app and exposes credentials; the reported problem instead is Secrets may have been indexed and copied. Monitor anomalous prior token activity.
D:
“Monitor masking policy misunderstanding and overprivileged accounts” concerns Masking is not a substitute for authorization and can be inferred; the reported problem instead is Secrets may have been indexed and copied. Monitor anomalous prior token activity.
Question 381
Cascade Manufacturing is responsible for an Azure SQL or Microsoft SQL workload. An encrypted SQL database must be restored after a regional outage. Operational evidence: Missing encryption certificate blocks restoration. What initial check best narrows the technical cause without altering business data?
- Check encryption protector, backup/restore procedure and custody
- Identify threat model and trusted client key access
- Inspect key hierarchy and permitted decrypting roles
- Review platform TDE state and key custody requirements
Explanation
Correct Answer
