You have a third - party security information and event management (SIEM) solution. You need to ensure that the SIEM solution can generate alerts for Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) sign - in events in near real time. What should you do to route events to the SIEM solution?
Correct Option: C
โ
Reasoning: Configuring Azure AD Diagnostics settings to stream events to an Azure Event Hub is the standard method for near real-time export of Azure AD logs to external systems, including third-party SIEM solutions that can consume data from Event Hubs. โ Why the other choices are incorrect:
- Option A is incorrect: Archiving to a storage account is for long-term retention, not near real-time streaming to a SIEM. SIEMs would need to pull this data, which isn't efficient for real-time alerting.
- Option B is incorrect: This option refers to Azure Sentinel, not a third-party SIEM, and the Security Events connector is primarily for Windows security events, not Azure AD sign-in events.
- Option D is incorrect: This option refers to Azure Sentinel, which is not the specified third-party SIEM. While Sentinel uses an Azure AD connector, it's not the mechanism for routing to an external SIEM.
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.
You have 1,000 Windows devices that have a third-party antivirus product installed and Microsoft Defender Antivirus in passive mode.
All Windows devices are onboarded to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
You need to ensure that the devices are protected from malicious artifacts that were undetected by the third-party antivirus product.
Solution: You enable Live Response.
Does this meet the goal?
Correct Option: B
โ **No **
Reasoning: Live Response is a manual, reactive investigation and remediation tool, not a proactive or real-time detection and prevention feature. It enables security analysts to take actions after a threat is identified. The goal requires ensuring protection from undetected threats, which necessitates a continuous detection capability, not a manual response mechanism.
After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result,
You are configuring Microsoft Defender for Identity integration with Active Directory.
From the Microsoft Defender for Identity portal, you need to configure several accounts for attacker
Solution: You add each account as a Sensitive account.
Does this meet the goal?
Correct Option: B
โ
Reasoning: Adding an account as a 'Sensitive account' in Microsoft Defender for Identity designates it for enhanced monitoring due to its high privileges. This is distinct from configuring accounts as honeypots or decoys, which are specifically designed to lure and trap attackers to detect lateral movement. Sensitive accounts are protected, not bait. โ Why the other choices are incorrect:
- Option A is incorrect: Marking an account as 'Sensitive' only increases its monitoring level, assuming it's a high-value asset. It does not configure it as a decoy or honeypot account to specifically detect attacker activity.
You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription that uses Microsoft Defender XDR.
You discover a malicious process that was initiated by a file named File1.exe on a device named Device1.
You need to create a KQL query that will identify when File1.exe was created. The solution must meet the following requirements:
โข Return the FileName, InitiatingProcessFileName, and InitiatingProcessCommandLine columns.
โข Minimize the volume of data returned.
How should you complete the query? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
โ
Reasoning: The DeviceFileEvents table in Microsoft Defender XDR stores information about file-related activities, including file creation. This is the appropriate table to query for FileCreated events.
โ
Reasoning: The project-keep operator in KQL selects specific columns from the input table, discarding all others. This fulfills the requirement to return only the specified FileName, InitiatingProcessFileName, and InitiatingProcessCommandLine columns, thereby minimizing data volume.
Your company has a single office in Istanbul and a Microsoft 365 subscription.
The company plans to use conditional access policies to enforce multi - factor authentication (MFA).
You need to enforce MFA for all users who work remotely. What should you include in the solution?
Correct Option: C
โ
Reasoning: To enforce MFA specifically for remote users, you must define your office network. A named location in Azure AD identifies trusted IP ranges (e.g., your Istanbul office). Conditional Access policies can then target users not connecting from this named location, thereby identifying remote users and enforcing MFA. โ Why the other choices are incorrect:
- Option A is incorrect: A "sign-in user policy" is too generic. Conditional Access policies are sign-in policies, but "named location" is the specific component used to define network boundaries for remote enforcement.
- Option B is incorrect: A user risk policy from Identity Protection applies actions based on a user's risk level (e.g., leaked credentials), not their network location (in-office vs. remote).
- Option D is incorrect: A fraud alert is an MFA reporting feature where users can report suspicious sign-ins. It does not configure when or where MFA is enforced.
You have a Microsoft 365 subscription that contains a Windows device named Device1. Device1 is onboarded to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.
You initiate a live response session on Device1.
You need to execute a long running script. The solution must ensure that you can run additional commands during the session while the script is running.
How should you complete the live response command? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
โ **run **
Reasoning: The run command is the standard Live Response command in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint used to execute scripts, such as PowerShell scripts, or executable files on an onboarded device.
โ **& **
Reasoning: In PowerShell, appending & to a command causes it to run asynchronously in the background. This allows the Live Response session to remain interactive, enabling the analyst to execute additional commands simultaneously.
You are configuring Microsoft Cloud App Security.
You have a custom threat detection policy based on the IP address ranges of your company's United States - based offices. You receive many alerts related to impossible travel and sign - ins from risky IP addresses.
You determine that 99 % of the alerts are legitimate sign - ins from your corporate offices.
You need to prevent alerts for legitimate sign - ins from known locations.
Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Correct Option: B,E
โ Add the IP addresses to the corporate address range category.
Reasoning: Explicitly defining corporate IP ranges in Microsoft Cloud App Security (MCAS) is crucial. This informs built-in anomaly detection policies, such as "impossible travel" and "risky IP addresses," that traffic originating from these IPs is legitimate and trusted, thereby preventing false-positive alerts.
โ Create an activity policy that has an exclusion for the IP addresses.
Reasoning: An activity policy provides granular control. By creating a custom activity policy with an exclusion for the corporate IP addresses, you can specifically prevent alerts from being generated for known legitimate activities or for alerts triggered by a "custom threat detection policy" mentioned in the scenario, offering a precise suppression mechanism. โ Why the other choices are incorrect:
- Option A is incorrect: Adding to 'other' address ranges doesn't confer the same trusted status as 'corporate' for anomaly detection. Tags are for organization, not alert suppression logic.
- Option C is incorrect: Increasing sensitivity would generate more alerts, directly opposing the goal of preventing legitimate sign-in alerts.
- Option D is incorrect: Data enrichment adds context for investigation but does not prevent alerts from being generated by existing policies for known legitimate traffic.
You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription that contains a device named Device1.
From the Microsoft Defender portal, you discover that an alert was triggered for Device1.
From the Device inventory page, you isolate Device1.
You need to collect a list of installed programs on Device1.
What should you do?
Correct Option: A
โ
Reasoning: Collecting an investigation package is a standard action in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint to gather comprehensive data, including installed programs, from an isolated device for forensic analysis. The collected package is then available for download from the Action center. โ Why the other choices are incorrect:
- Option B is incorrect: While Live Response can be used, the specific "analyze" command is not used to list installed programs. The
software listcommand would be appropriate. - Option C is incorrect:
DeviceProcessEventstracks process creation and termination, not a comprehensive inventory of installed programs on the device. - Option D is incorrect:
DeviceTvmInfoGatheringprimarily contains data related to threat and vulnerability management assessments, not a direct or comprehensive list of all installed programs.
You have an Azure subscription named Sub1 and a Microsoft 365 subscription. Sub1 is linked to an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant named contoso.com.
You create an Azure Sentinel workspace named workspace 1. In workspace1, you activate an Azure AD connector for contoso.com and an Office 365 connector for the Microsoft 365 subscription.
You need to use the Fusion rule to detect multi - staged attacks that include suspicious sign - ins to contoso.com followed by anomalous Microsoft Office 365 activity.
Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Correct Option: A,C
โ **Create a Microsoft Cloud App Security connector. **
Reasoning: Microsoft Cloud App Security (now Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps) provides advanced anomaly detection for SaaS applications, including Office 365. Its alerts for anomalous Office 365 activity are a critical input for the Fusion rule to detect the second stage of a multi-stage attack.
โ **Create an Azure AD Identity Protection Connector **
Reasoning: Azure AD Identity Protection (now Microsoft Entra ID Protection) specifically detects "suspicious sign-ins" and other identity-based risks. Its high-fidelity risk detections are essential signals for the Fusion rule to identify the initial "suspicious sign-ins" stage of a multi-stage attack. โ Why the other choices are incorrect:
- Option B is incorrect: Creating an incident creation rule from Azure Security Center (now Microsoft Defender for Cloud) focuses on alert handling for Azure resources, not on providing the specific identity and O365 anomaly signals required for Fusion's multi-stage attack detection.
- Option D is incorrect: Fusion is a built-in machine learning rule that correlates alerts from other security services. Creating custom rules, while useful for specific detections, does not directly enable Fusion's cross-domain correlation capabilities for the scenario described.
You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription that contains a device named Device1.
From the Microsoft Defender portal, you discover that an alert was triggered for Device1.
From the Device inventory page, you isolate Device1.
You need to collect a list of installed programs on Device1.
What should you do?
Correct Option: D
โ
Reasoning: The DeviceTvmSoftwareInventory table in Advanced Hunting is explicitly designed to store comprehensive data about installed software on devices. Running a KQL query against this table provides a direct, efficient method to collect a list of installed programs on Device1. โ Why the other choices are incorrect:
- Option A is incorrect: The
processescommand in a live response session lists currently running processes, not a full inventory of installed programs. - Option B is incorrect: An automated investigation focuses on responding to an alert, not generating a complete list of installed programs. The Action center shows investigation outcomes, not software inventory.
- Option C is incorrect: There is no standard
analyzecommand in live response for enumerating installed programs. Commands likesoftwaremight exist, but Advanced Hunting withDeviceTvmSoftwareInventoryis the most effective for this inventory requirement.
