Question 52

Note: This section contains one or more sets of questions with the same scenario and problem. Each question presents a unique solution to the problem. You must determine whether the solution meets the stated goals. More than one solution in the set might solve the problem. It is also possible that none of the solutions in the set solve the problem. After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return. As a result, these questions do not appear on the Review Screen. You have a Microsoft 365 subscription that uses Microsoft Defender XDR. The subscription contains 500 devices that are enrolled in Microsoft Intune. The subscription contains 500 users that connect to external software as a service (SaaS) apps by using the devices. You need to implement a solution that meets the following requirements: • Allows user access to SaaS apps that Microsoft has identified as low risk • Blocks user access to Saas apps that Microsoft has identified as high risk Solution: From the Microsoft Defender portal, you set Web content filtering to On and create a web content filtering policy. Does this meet the goal?

A. Yes
B. No
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
Web content filtering in Microsoft Defender is designed to allow or block access based on website categories (such as gambling or adult content), not on the risk rating of SaaS applications. To allow low‑risk SaaS apps and block high‑risk SaaS apps, you must use Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps with app discovery, cloud app catalog risk scores, and access or app control policies. Therefore, the proposed solution does not meet the requirements.

Question 53

HOTSPOT - You have an Azure subscription that contains App Service apps in four Azure regions. Users connect to the apps from the internet. You plan to block requests to the apps if the requests contain security threats specified in the Core Rule Set (CRS) of the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP). You need to design a solution to block the requests. The solution must meet the following requirements: • Maintain access to the apps in the event of a region outage. • Minimize the number of resources required. What should you include in the design? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Show Answer
Correct Answer: Azure Front Door Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF)
Explanation:
Azure Front Door is a global service that provides automatic failover across regions, maintaining access during a regional outage while minimizing resources. Enabling WAF on Front Door supports OWASP CRS to block malicious requests at the edge.

Question 54

You have an Azure subscription and an Azure DevOps organization. You need to recommend a solution for connecting Azure DevOps pipelines to the resources in the subscription by using Azure Resource Manager (ARM) service connections. The solution must align with Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework for Azure best practices, including the principle of least privilege. What should you include in the recommendation?

A. service principals and secrets
B. workload identity federation and service principals
C. workload identity federation and user-assigned managed identities
D. workload identity federation and system-assigned managed identities
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework best practices emphasize eliminating secrets, using Entra ID–based identities, and applying least privilege. For Azure DevOps ARM service connections, the recommended default is workload identity federation with an automatically created app registration (service principal). This avoids secrets, integrates natively with Azure DevOps, and allows precise RBAC scoping to subscriptions or resource groups. Managed identities are alternatives only when app registrations cannot be created, but they are not the primary CAF-aligned recommendation.

Question 55

HOTSPOT - Your company uses Microsoft Defender for Cloud and Microsoft Sentinel. The company is designing an application that will have the architecture shown in the following exhibit. You are designing a logging and auditing solution for the proposed architecture. The solution must meet the following requirements: • Integrate Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF) logs with Microsoft Sentinel. • Use Defender for Cloud to review alerts from the virtual machines. What should you include in the solution? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Illustration for SC-100 question 55 Illustration for SC-100 question 55
Show Answer
Correct Answer: For WAF: Data connectors For the virtual machines: Defender for Servers
Explanation:
Azure WAF logs are integrated into Microsoft Sentinel by using Sentinel data connectors. To review VM security alerts in Microsoft Defender for Cloud, the virtual machines must be onboarded to Defender for Servers, which generates and surfaces those alerts.

Question 56

HOTSPOT - You have an Azure subscription that contains an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster named AKS1. AKS1 hosts a Windows node pool named Pool1 and a Linux node pool named Pool2. You are designing a pool update strategy for AKS1. You need to recommend how often to replace the operating system images deployed to the nodes. The solution must meet the following requirements: • Minimize how long it takes to apply operating system updates once the updates are released. • Minimize administrative effort. What should you recommend for each pool? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Illustration for SC-100 question 56
Show Answer
Correct Answer: Pool1 (Windows): Monthly Pool2 (Linux): Weekly
Explanation:
AKS Linux node images are updated more frequently and can be safely rolled out weekly with minimal effort to get fixes quickly. Windows node images have heavier update cycles and reboots, so monthly replacement balances faster security updates with lower administrative overhead.

Question 57

HOTSPOT - You have 1,000 on-premises servers that run Linux. You have an Azure subscription that contains a Microsoft Sentinel workspace named WS1 and 1,000 virtual machines that run Linux. All the on-premises Linux servers are onboarded to Azure Arc. You plan to collect Common Event Format (CEF) logs by using the Azure Monitor Agent connector in Microsoft Sentinel. You need to design a solution for collecting specific events from the logs. The solution must meet the following requirements: • Minimize the number of Microsoft Entra ID identities required. • Minimize the number of events delivered to WS1. • Ensure that all the required events are ingested. • Minimize administrative effort. What should you include in the solution? To answer, select the options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct answer is worth one point.

Illustration for SC-100 question 57
Show Answer
Correct Answer: Create Data Collection Rules (DCRs). System-assigned managed identities for the on-premises servers and user-assigned managed identities for the Azure virtual machines.
Explanation:
DCRs filter CEF/Syslog data at collection time, reducing events sent to WS1 while ensuring required logs are ingested. Using system-assigned managed identities for Arc-enabled on‑premises servers avoids creating many identities, and a single user-assigned managed identity can be reused across Azure VMs to further minimize Microsoft Entra ID identities and administrative effort.

Question 58

You have a Microsoft Entra tenant named contoso.com. You have a partner company that has a multi-tenant application named App1. App1 is registered to a Microsoft Entra tenant named fabrikam.com. You need to ensure that the users in contoso.com can authenticate to App1. What should you recommend creating in contoso.com?

A. a service principal
B. a system-assigned managed identity
C. an application object
D. a user-assigned managed identity
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
For a multi-tenant application, when users from an external tenant (contoso.com) need to authenticate, the required object in the consuming tenant is a service principal. After an admin in contoso.com grants consent to App1, Microsoft Entra automatically creates a service principal that represents App1 in contoso.com. This service principal enables contoso users to sign in. Application objects are only created in the home tenant (fabrikam.com), and managed identities are unrelated to user authentication for SaaS apps.

Question 59

You have a Microsoft 365 tenant. Your company uses a third-party software as a service (SaaS) app named App1. App1 supports authenticating users by using Microsoft Entra credentials. You need to recommend a solution to enable users to authenticate to App1 by using their Microsoft Entra credentials. What should you include in the recommendation?

A. a relying party trust in Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS)
B. a Microsoft Entra enterprise application
C. Microsoft Entra Application Proxy
D. Microsoft Entra External ID
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
To allow a third-party SaaS application to authenticate users with Microsoft Entra credentials, the app must be integrated with Microsoft Entra ID as an enterprise application. This enables SSO using standards such as SAML, OAuth, or OpenID Connect, and allows centralized identity, Conditional Access, and user assignment. The other options are not required for SaaS authentication with Entra ID.

Question 60

HOTSPOT - You have an Azure subscription. You have a Microsoft 365 subscription. You need to assess regulatory compliance of the subscriptions. The solution must meet the following requirements: • Identify whether data stored in Azure and Microsoft 365 complies with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) regulations. • Identify whether Azure resources comply with National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards. • Provide recommendations on controls to improve compliance. What should you use? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Illustration for SC-100 question 60
Show Answer
Correct Answer: For NIST: Microsoft Defender for Cloud For GDPR: Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager
Explanation:
Microsoft Defender for Cloud assesses Azure resources against regulatory standards such as NIST and provides security recommendations. Microsoft Purview Compliance Manager evaluates Microsoft 365 and Azure data compliance with regulations like GDPR and offers control improvement guidance.
