Litware identifies the following business requirements:
• The principle of least privilege must be used whenever possible.
• Costs must be minimized, as long as all other requirements are met.
• Logs collected by Log Analytics must provide a full audit trail of user activities.
• All domain controllers must be protected by using Microsoft Defender for Identity.
Azure Information Protection Requirements
All files that have sensitivity labels and are stored on the Windows 10 computers must be available from the Azure Information Protection – Data discovery dashboard.
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Requirements
All Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps unsanctioned apps must be blocked on the Windows 10 computers by using Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps Security Requirements
Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps must identify whether a user connection is anomalous based on tenant-level data.
Microsoft Defender for Cloud Requirements
All servers must send logs to the same Log Analytics workspace.
Microsoft Sentinel Requirements
Litware must meet the following Microsoft Sentinel requirements:
• Integrate Microsoft Sentinel and Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps.
• Ensure that a user named admin1 can configure Microsoft Sentinel playbooks.
• Create a Microsoft Sentinel analytics rule based on a custom query. The rule must automatically initiate the execution of a playbook.
• Add notes to events that represent data access from a specific IP address to provide the ability to reference the IP address when navigating through an investigation graph while hunting.
• Create a test rule that generates alerts when inbound access to Microsoft Office 365 by the Azure AD test user accounts is detected. Alerts generated by the rule must be grouped into individual incidents, with one incident per test user account.
You need to configure DC1 to meet the business requirements.
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.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: Provide global administrator credentials to the litware.com Azure AD tenant.
Create an instance of Microsoft Defender for Identity.
Install the sensor on DC1.
Explanation: To protect the domain controller with Microsoft Defender for Identity, the service must first be initialized in the tenant using Azure AD Global Administrator permissions. After the Defender for Identity instance is created, the Defender for Identity sensor is installed directly on the domain controller (DC1) to collect and send security signals.
Question 191
You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription that contains 100 Linux devices. The devices are onboarded to Microsoft Defender 365.
You need to initiate the collection of investigation packages from the devices by using the Microsoft 365 Defender portal.
Which response action should you use?
A. Run antivirus scan
B. Initiate Automated Investigation
C. Collect investigation package
D. Initiate Live Response Session
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: To collect investigation packages directly from devices using the Microsoft 365 Defender portal, the correct response action is **Collect investigation package**. This action is now supported for Linux devices onboarded to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and allows administrators to remotely gather logs, system information, and other forensic data without starting a Live Response session. Other options either trigger scans, investigations, or interactive sessions but do not directly initiate package collection.
Question 192
HOTSPOT
-
You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription that uses Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
You need to create a detection rule that meets the following requirements:
• Is triggered when a device that has critical software vulnerabilities was active during the last hour
• Limits the number of duplicate results
How should you complete the KQL query? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Explanation: `distinct DeviceId` limits duplicate results to one entry per device with critical vulnerabilities and allows a valid join on DeviceId. `project Timestamp, DeviceId, ReportId` returns the required columns for a Defender custom detection rule while keeping only devices active in the last hour.
Question 193
You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription that contains 100 Windows 10 devices.
You onboard the devices to Microsoft Defender 365.
You need to ensure that you can initiate remote shell connections to the onboarded devices from the Microsoft 365 Defender portal.
What should you do first?
A. Modify the permissions for Microsoft 365 Defender.
B. Create a device group.
C. From Advanced features in the Endpoints settings of the Microsoft 365 Defender portal, enable automated investigation.
D. Configure role-based access control (RBAC).
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: Remote shell connections in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint are provided through Live Response. While Live Response must be enabled by an administrator, the ability to initiate and use remote shell connections is controlled by role-based access control (RBAC). You must first configure RBAC to grant users the appropriate Live Response permissions; without the correct role assignments, remote shell access cannot be initiated even if the feature is enabled.
Question 194
You have a Microsoft Sentinel workspace that uses the Microsoft 365 Defender data connector.
From Microsoft Sentinel, you investigate a Microsoft 365 incident.
You need to update the incident to include an alert generated by Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps.
What should you use?
A. the entity side panel of the Timeline card in Microsoft Sentinel
B. the Timeline tab on the incidents page of Microsoft Sentinel
C. the investigation graph on the incidents page of Microsoft Sentinel
D. the Alerts page in the Microsoft 365 Defender portal
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: To add an alert from Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps to an existing Microsoft Sentinel incident, you use the entity side panel and its Timeline card. From the incident details, selecting an entity opens the entity side panel, where the Timeline card shows related alerts and events. Alerts not yet included in the incident have a plus (+) option that lets you add them directly to the incident. This is the documented method for relating additional alerts to incidents in Sentinel.
Question 195
You have a Microsoft Sentinel workspace.
You investigate an incident that has the following entities:
• A user account named User1
• An IP address of 192.168.10.200
• An Azure virtual machine named VM1
• An on-premises server named Server1
You need to label an entity as an indicator of compromise (IoC) directly by using the incidents page.
Which entity can you label?
A. 192.168.10.200
B. VM1
C. Server1
D. User1
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: In Microsoft Sentinel, only certain entity types can be directly labeled as Indicators of Compromise (IoCs) from the Incidents page. These supported types are IP addresses, domain names, URLs, and file hashes. Among the listed entities, only 192.168.10.200 is an IP address, so it is the only entity that can be labeled as an IoC.
Question 196
DRAG DROP
-
You have an Azure subscription that contains two users named User1 and User2 and a Microsoft Sentinel workspace named workspace1.
You need to ensure that the users can perform the following tasks in workspace1:
• User1 must be able to dismiss incidents and assign incidents to users.
• User2 must be able to modify analytics rules.
The solution must use the principle of least privilege.
Which role should you assign to each user? To answer, drag the appropriate roles to the correct users. Each role may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: User1: Microsoft Sentinel Responder
User2: Microsoft Sentinel Contributor
Explanation: Microsoft Sentinel Responder can manage incidents, including assigning and dismissing them. Microsoft Sentinel Contributor can create and modify analytics rules and other Sentinel resources, providing the least privilege required.
Question 197
HOTSPOT -
You have an Azure subscription that contains a Microsoft Sentinel workspace.
You need to create a hunting query using Kusto Query Language (KQL) that meets the following requirements:
• Identifies an anomalous number of changes to the rules of a network security group (NSG) made by the same security principal.
• Automatically associates the security principal with a Microsoft Sentinel entity.
How should you complete the query? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: AzureActivity
extend
Explanation: AzureActivity contains NSG rule write operations with the Caller (security principal). Using extend to set AccountCustomEntity = Caller automatically maps the principal to a Microsoft Sentinel entity.
Question 198
HOTSPOT
-
You have a Microsoft Sentinel workspace.
You need to configure a report visual for a custom workbook. The solution must meet the following requirements:
• The count and usage trend of AppDisplayName must be included.
• The TrendList column must be useable in a sparkline visual.
How should you complete the KQL query? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: join
make-series
Explanation: `join` combines the per‑AppDisplayName total count with the time‑series data. `make-series` produces a numeric array over time (TrendList) based on TimeGenerated, which is required for sparkline visuals showing usage trends.
Question 199
You have a Microsoft Sentinel workspace.
You enable User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) by using Audit Logs and Signin Logs.
The following entities are detected in the Azure AD tenant:
• App name: App1
• IP address: 192.168.1.2
• Computer name: Device1
• Used client app: Microsoft Edge
• Email address:
• Sign-in URL: https://www.company.com
Which entities can be investigated by using UEBA?
A. IP address and email address only
B. app name, computer name, IP address, email address, and used client app only
C. IP address only
D. used client app and app name only
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: UEBA in Microsoft Sentinel builds behavior profiles from Azure AD Sign-in Logs and Audit Logs. These logs provide entities such as user accounts (email address), IP addresses, cloud applications (app name and used client app), and devices/computers. Therefore, all listed entities except the sign-in URL itself can be investigated through UEBA, making option B correct.
