Question 118

You have an Azure subscription that uses Microsoft Defender for Cloud. You need to use Defender for Cloud to review regulatory compliance with the Azure CIS 1.4.0 standard. The solution must minimize administrative effort. What should you do first?

A. Assign an Azure policy.
B. Disable one of the Out of the box standards.
C. Manually add the Azure CIS 1.4.0 standard.
D. Add a custom initiative.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
In Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Azure CIS 1.4.0 is not enabled by default. To review compliance with this standard while minimizing administrative effort, the first required action is to add the Azure CIS 1.4.0 regulatory compliance standard from the Regulatory compliance page. Only after the standard is added can any policy or initiative assignment occur, making manual addition of the standard the correct first step.

Question 119

You have an Azure subscription that contains a Microsoft Defender External Attack Surface Management (Defender EASM) resource named EASM1. EASM1 has discovery enabled and contains several inventory assets. You need to identify which inventory assets are vulnerable to the most critical web app security risks. Which Defender EASM dashboard should you use?

A. Security Posture
B. OWASP Top 10
C. Attack Surface Summary
D. GDPR Compliance
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
The OWASP Top 10 dashboard in Defender EASM is specifically designed to highlight inventory assets affected by the most critical web application security risks as defined by the OWASP Top 10. This directly matches the requirement to identify assets vulnerable to the most critical web app security risks.

Question 120

Your on-premises network contains a Hyper-V virtual machine named VM1. You need to use Azure Arc to onboard VM1 to Microsoft Defender for Cloud. What should you install first?

A. the guest configuration agent
B. the Azure Monitor agent
C. the Log Analytics agent
D. the Azure Connected Machine agent
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
To onboard an on‑premises Hyper‑V VM to Microsoft Defender for Cloud by using Azure Arc, the machine must first be enabled as an Azure Arc–enabled server. This requires installing the Azure Connected Machine agent. Once the machine is connected to Azure Arc, Defender for Cloud can then be enabled and will deploy the required monitoring agents (Log Analytics agent or Azure Monitor Agent) as needed. Therefore, the first thing to install is the Azure Connected Machine agent.

Question 122

SIMULATION - You need to ensure that the audit logs from the SQLdb1 Azure SQL database are stored in the WS12345678 Azure Log Analytics workspace. To complete this task, sign in to the Azure portal and modify the Azure resources.

Show Answer
Correct Answer: Azure portal → SQL databases → SQLdb1 Security → Auditing Set Auditing to On Select Log Analytics → Configure Choose WS12345678 workspace Save
Explanation:
Azure SQL Database auditing must be enabled at the database level and configured to send audit logs to a Log Analytics workspace. Selecting the WS12345678 workspace ensures all SQLdb1 audit events are stored there.

Question 123

Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution. After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen. You use Microsoft Defender for Cloud for the centralized policy management of three Azure subscriptions. You use several policy definitions to manage the security of the subscriptions. You need to deploy the policy definitions as a group to all three subscriptions. Solution: You create a resource graph and an assignment that is scoped to a management group. Does this meet the goal?

A. Yes
B. No
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
The goal is to deploy multiple policy definitions as a group to multiple subscriptions. This is done by creating an Azure Policy initiative (policy set definition) and assigning it at the management group scope. Azure Resource Graph is a query service used to explore resources and cannot be used to group or deploy policy definitions. Therefore, creating a resource graph and an assignment does not meet the goal.

Question 124

HOTSPOT - You have an Azure subscription that contains a user named User1. User1 is assigned the Reader role for the subscription. You plan to create a custom role named Role1 and assign Role1 to User1. You need to ensure that User1 can create and manage application security groups by using Azure portal. Which two permissions should you add to Role1? To answer, select the appropriate permissions in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Illustration for AZ-500 question 124
Show Answer
Correct Answer: Microsoft Network Microsoft Portal
Explanation:
Application Security Groups are network resources, so permissions from the Microsoft.Network resource provider are required to create and manage them. Using the Azure portal also requires Microsoft.Portal permissions so the user can perform management actions through the portal interface. The Reader role already provides basic access, but these two providers must be added to the custom role.

Question 125

DRAG DROP - Your network contains an on-premises Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains a user named User1. You have an Azure subscription that is linked to an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant named contoso.com. The tenant contains an Azure Storage account named storage1. Storage1 contains an Azure file share named share1. Currently, the domain and the tenant are not integrated. You need to ensure that User1 can access share1 by using his domain credentials. Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.

Illustration for AZ-500 question 125
Show Answer
Correct Answer: Implement Azure AD Connect. Enable an Active Directory source for Azure File shares. Assign share-level permissions for share1.
Explanation:
Azure AD Connect syncs the on-premises AD user to Azure AD. Enabling an AD source for Azure Files allows authentication using domain credentials. Assigning share-level permissions grants User1 access to the file share.

Question 126

You have an Azure subscription that contains an Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 account named storage1. You deploy an Azure Synapse Analytics workspace named synapsews1 to a managed virtual network. You need to enable access from synapsews1 to storage1. What should you configure?

A. peering
B. a private endpoint
C. a network security group (NSG)
D. a virtual network gateway
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
The Synapse workspace is deployed to a managed virtual network, which requires Managed Private Endpoints to access Azure resources privately. Configuring a private endpoint from synapsews1 to the Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 account enables secure connectivity via Azure Private Link. Peering, NSGs, and virtual network gateways do not provide this required private access from a managed VNet.

Question 127

HOTSPOT - You have an Azure AD tenant named contoso.com that contains the users shown in the following table. You add enterprise applications to contoso.com as shown in the following table. You need to identify which users can grant admin consent for App1 and App2. Which users should you identify for each application? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Illustration for AZ-500 question 127 Illustration for AZ-500 question 127 Illustration for AZ-500 question 127
Show Answer
Correct Answer: App1: User1 only App2: User1 only
Explanation:
Granting admin (tenant-wide) consent requires specific Entra ID roles such as Application Administrator, Cloud Application Administrator, Global Administrator, or Privileged Role Administrator. Among the listed users, only User1 has the Application Administrator role. Application owners and roles like Azure DevOps Administrator or Security Operator do not have permission to grant admin consent.

Question 128

You have an Azure subscription that contains a resource group named RG1 and the identities shown in the following table. You assign Group4 the Contributor role for RG1. Which identities can you add to Group4 as members?

A. User1 only
B. User1 and Group3 only
C. User1, Group1, and Group3 only
D. User1, Group2, and Group3 only
E. User1, Group1, Group2, and Group3
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
Group4 is a role-assignable security group because it is assigned the Contributor role at the RG1 scope. Azure does not support group nesting for role-assignable groups: no group (security or Microsoft 365) can be added as a member of a role-assignable group. Only individual users or service principals are allowed as members. Therefore, among the listed identities, only User1 can be added to Group4.
