You have an Azure subscription.
You plan to deploy multiple containerized microservice-based apps to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
You need to recommend a solution that meets the following requirements:
• Manages secrets
• Provides encryption
• Secures service-to-service communication by using mTLS encryption
• Minimizes administrative effort
What should you include in the recommendation?
A. Flux
B. Envoy
C. Dapr
D. Istio
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: Dapr is the best fit because it provides built-in service-to-service mTLS encryption, integrates with secret stores such as Azure Key Vault via its Secrets API, and encrypts communication by default. Compared to a full service mesh like Istio, Dapr is simpler to deploy and operate on AKS, meeting the requirement to minimize administrative effort while still securing microservice communication.
Question 95
HOTSPOT -
You have two on-premises servers named Server1 and Server2 that run Windows Server. Server1 contains an app named App1 and is isolated from the internet.
You have a Microsoft Entra tenant.
You plan to deploy Global Secure Access to provide remote access to App1.
You need to configure the tenant and Server2 to support the planned deployment. The solution must ensure that when users attempt to access App1, they must authenticate by using their Microsoft Entra credentials.
What should you create in the tenant, and what should you install on Server2? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: Tenant:
An enterprise application
Server2:
Microsoft Entra private network connector
Explanation: Global Secure Access for private apps requires an enterprise application in Microsoft Entra ID to enforce authentication and access policies. An Entra private network connector installed on an internal server provides outbound connectivity to the isolated on‑premises app without requiring internet exposure.
Question 96
HOTSPOT -
Your on-premises network contains an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain. The domain contains a group named Group1 and five servers that run Windows Server. Each server contains a standalone app. Each app is used by the members of Group1.
You have a Microsoft Entra tenant that syncs with the domain.
You plan to manage access to the apps by deploying Global Secure Access. You will use a Conditional Access policy to enforce security controls for all connections to the apps.
You need to recommend a Global Secure Access app and Microsoft Entra private network connector configuration for the planned deployment. The solution must minimize administrative effort and be highly available.
What is the minimum number of Global Secure Access apps and private network connectors you should recommend? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: One Quick Access app
2 private network connectors
Explanation: A single Quick Access app can publish multiple on‑premises applications and allows one Conditional Access policy for Group1, minimizing administrative effort. High availability for Global Secure Access requires at least two private network connectors; more would add unnecessary overhead.
Question 97
You have a Microsoft 365 tenant that contains 5,000 users and 5,000 Windows 11 devices. All users are assigned Microsoft 365 E5 licenses and the Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management add-on. The Windows 11 devices are managed by using Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. The Windows 11 devices are configured during deployment to comply with Center for Internet Security (CIS) benchmarks for Windows 11.
You need to recommend a compliance solution for the Windows 11 devices. The solution must identify devices that were modified and no longer comply with the CIS benchmarks.
What should you include in the recommendation?
A. Authenticated scan for Windows in Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management
B. Microsoft Secure Score for Devices in Defender for Endpoint
C. attack surface reduction (ASR) rules in Defender for Endpoint
D. security baselines assessments in Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: Security baselines assessments in Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management continuously evaluate device configurations against known benchmarks, including CIS benchmarks for Windows 11. This directly identifies devices that have drifted from the required secure configuration. The other options either focus on scoring, prevention, or vulnerability scanning, not ongoing CIS compliance assessment.
Question 98
Your company has a main office and a branch office.
The main office contains 20 on-premises servers that run Windows Server and host apps that are published by using Microsoft Entra application proxy. The main office contains 500 on-premises computers that run Windows 11. The branch office contains 100 on-premises computers that run Windows 11.
All the main office computers are enrolled in Microsoft Intune. The branch office computers are NOT enrolled in Intune.
You have a Microsoft 365 ES subscription.
You have a Microsoft Entra tenant. You have a third-party software as a service (SaaS) app that is registered in the Microsoft Entra tenant.
You plan to implement Global Secure Access.
You are evaluating the use of compliant network check and Conditional Access.
Which two scenarios are supported by compliant network check? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point
A. connections to the third-party SaaS app
B. connections from the branch office computers
C. Continuous Access Evaluation for Microsoft Exchange Online
D. connections to the on-premises apps
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A, D
Explanation: Compliant network check in Global Secure Access is used with Conditional Access to verify that traffic to protected resources is coming through Microsoft’s secure network path. It is supported for cloud apps such as third-party SaaS applications integrated with Microsoft Entra ID, and for on-premises applications published via Microsoft Entra application proxy. It does not apply to unmanaged branch office devices by themselves, and it is unrelated to Continuous Access Evaluation, which is a separate session enforcement feature.
Question 99
HOTSPOT
-
You have an Azure subscription that contains a virtual network named VNet1. VNet1 contains a 10-node virtual machine scale set that hosts a web search app named App1. Customers access App1 from the internet. The nodes establish outbound HTTP and HTTPS connections to the internet.
You need to recommend a network security solution for App1. The solution must meet the following requirements:
• Inbound connections to App1 that contain security threats specified in the Core Rule Set (CRS) from the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) must be blocked.
• Outbound HTTP and HTTPS connections from the virtual machine scale set that contain security threats identified by the Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence (Defender TI) feed must be blocked.
What should you include in the recommendation? To answer, select the options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct answer is worth one point.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: For the inbound connections:
Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF)
For the outbound connections:
Azure Firewall
Explanation: Inbound HTTP/HTTPS traffic must be inspected against OWASP CRS rules, which is provided by Azure Web Application Firewall. Outbound HTTP/HTTPS traffic must be filtered using Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence, which is supported by Azure Firewall threat intelligence–based filtering.
Question 100
HOTSPOT

You have three Microsoft Entra tenants named Tenant1, Tenant2, and Tenant3.
You have three Azure subscriptions named Sub1, Sub2, and Sub3. Each tenant is associated with multiple Azure subscriptions.
Each subscription contains a single Microsoft Sentinel workspace as shown in the following table.
You need to recommend a solution that meets the following requirements:
• Ensures that the users in Tenant1 can manage the resources in Sub2 and Sub3 without having to switch subscriptions or sign in to a different tenant.
• Implements multiple workspace view for Sentinel2 and Sentinel3.
What should you use to delegate permissions, and which Microsoft Sentinel feature will users be able to manage in multiple workspace view? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: Azure Lighthouse
Incidents
Explanation: Azure Lighthouse allows users in one tenant to manage resources across subscriptions and tenants without switching tenants or subscriptions. Microsoft Sentinel’s multiple workspace view supports centralized management and viewing of Incidents across multiple Sentinel workspaces, whereas analytics rules and workbooks are managed per workspace.
Question 101
HOTSPOT -
Your network contains an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain named Domain1.
You have a Microsoft Entra tenant.
Domain1 syncs with the tenant by using Microsoft Entra Connect.
You need to evaluate Microsoft Entra smart lockout by testing the following account lockout considerations:
• The number of failed sign-in attempts that trigger a lockout
• The duration of the lockout
What should you use to test each consideration? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: The number of failed sign-in attempts that trigger a lockout:
AD DS and Microsoft Entra ID
The duration of the lockout:
AD DS and Microsoft Entra ID
Explanation: In a hybrid identity scenario, Microsoft Entra smart lockout works in conjunction with on-premises AD DS policies. Failed attempts and lockout duration are influenced by both Entra smart lockout settings and AD DS account lockout policies, so testing must involve both systems.
Question 102
You have an on-premises server that runs Windows Server and contains a Microsoft SQL Server database named DB1.
You plan to migrate DB1 to Azure.
You need to recommend an encrypted Azure database solution that meets the following requirements:
• Minimizes the risks of malware that uses elevated privileges to access sensitive data
• Prevents database administrators from accessing sensitive data
• Enables pattern matching for server-side database operations
• Supports Microsoft Azure Attestation
• Uses hardware-based encryption
What should you include in the recommendation?
A. SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines with virtualization-based security (VBS) enclaves
B. Azure SQL Database with virtualization-based security (VBS) enclaves
C. Azure SQL Managed Instance that has Always Encrypted configured
D. Azure SQL Database with Intel Software Guard Extensions (Intel SGX) enclaves
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: The requirements describe Always Encrypted with secure enclaves using hardware-based trusted execution. Azure SQL Database with Intel SGX enclaves provides hardware-backed encryption, prevents DBAs from accessing plaintext data, reduces risk from malware with elevated privileges, supports server-side operations such as pattern matching on encrypted columns, and integrates with Microsoft Azure Attestation. Other options either lack enclave support, do not support pattern matching on encrypted data, or do not meet the hardware-based attestation requirements.
Question 103
You have a Microsoft 365 tenant that contains two groups named Group1 and Group2.
You use Microsoft Defender XDR to manage the tenants of your company’s customers.
You need to ensure that the users in Group1 can perform security tasks in the tenant of each customer. The solution must meet the following requirements:
• The Group1 users must only be assigned the Security Operator role for the customer tenants.
• The users in Group2 must be able to assign the Security Operators role to the Group1 users for the customer tenants.
• The use of quest accounts must be minimized.
• Administrative effort must be minimized.
What should you include in the solution?
A. multi-user authorization (MUA)
B. Azure Lighthouse
C. Privileged Identity Management (PIM)
D. Microsoft Entra B2B collaboration
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Azure Lighthouse is designed for cross-tenant management scenarios. It allows a managing tenant to delegate specific roles (such as Security Operator in Microsoft Defender XDR) into customer tenants without creating guest accounts in each tenant. Group1 users can be granted only the Security Operator role across customer tenants, while Group2 users can manage those role assignments. This minimizes guest accounts and administrative overhead, unlike PIM (single-tenant), MUA (approval control only), or Entra B2B (guest sprawl).
