Hot Area:

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:




Box 1: A blueprint
Scenario: Requirements. Compliance Requirements
Fabrikam wants to automatically remediate the virtual machines in Sub1 to be compliant with the HIPAA HITRUST standard.

Microsoft releases automation for HIPAA/HITRUST compliance
I am excited to share our new Azure Security and Compliance Blueprint for HIPAA/HITRUST Health Data & AI. Microsoft's Azure Blueprints are resources to help build and launch cloud-powered applications that comply with stringent regulations and standards. Included in the blueprints are reference architectures, compliance guidance and deployment scripts.

An Azure Blueprint is a package for creating specific sets of standards and requirements that govern the implementation of Azure services, security, and design. Such packages are reusable so that consistency and compliance among resources can be maintained.

Incorrect:
* not Workflow automation
Workflow automation is an approach to making the flow of tasks, documents and information across work- related activities perform independently in accordance with defined business rules.

Box 2: Modify an Azure policy definition
Scenario: The virtual machines in TestRG must be excluded from the compliance assessment.

Use a Policy definition to include the TestRG virtual machines from the Blueprint.

Note: Azure Policy establishes conventions for resources. Policy definitions describe resource compliance conditions and the effect to take if a condition is met. A condition compares a resource property field or a value to a required value. Resource property fields are accessed by using aliases.
When a resource property field is an array, a special array alias can be used to select values from all array members and apply a condition to each one.

By defining conventions, you can control costs and more easily manage your resources. For example, you can specify that only certain types of virtual machines are allowed. Or, you can require that resources have a particular tag. Policy assignments are inherited by child resources. If a policy assignment is applied to a resource group, it's applicable to all the resources in that resource group.

Incorrect:
* Not Update a policy assignment
A policy assignment assigns a Blueprint to a subscription. The scope is at the subscription level.

Note: Policy Assignments provide a means for applying policy to a subscription to which a blueprint is assigned. That said, the policy must be within the scope of the blueprint containing the policy. Parameters defined with a policy are assigned during blueprint creation or during blueprint assignment.

You need to recommend a solution to evaluate regulatory compliance across the entire managed environment. The solution must meet the regulatory compliance requirements and the business requirements.

What should you recommend? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.

Note: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Hot Area:

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:




Box 1: Azure Policy initiatives to management groups
If your organization has many Azure subscriptions, you may need a way to efficiently manage access, policies, and compliance for those subscriptions. Management groups provide a governance scope above subscriptions. You organize subscriptions into management groups the governance conditions you apply cascade by inheritance to all associated subscriptions.

If you plan to apply a policy definition to multiple subscriptions, the location must be a management group that contains the subscriptions you assign the policy to. The same is true for an initiative definition.

With an initiative definition, you can group several policy definitions to achieve one overarching goal. An initiative evaluates resources within scope of the assignment for compliance to the included policies.

Incorrect:
Not: Azure Policy initiatives to subscriptions
Must use a management group as we have multiple subscriptions.

Scenario:
Requirements. Business Requirements
Litware identifies the following business requirements:

· Minimize any additional on-premises infrastructure.
· Minimize the operational costs associated with administrative overhead.

Box 2: Azure Arc
With Azure Arc:

Meet governance and compliance standards for apps, infrastructure, and data with Azure Policy.

Take advantage of elastic scale, consistent on-premises and multicloud management, and cloud-style billing models.

Note: Azure Arc is a bridge that extends the Azure platform to help you build applications and services with the flexibility to run across datacenters, at the edge, and in multicloud environments. Develop cloud-native applications with a consistent development, operations, and security model. Azure Arc runs on both new and existing hardware, virtualization and Kubernetes platforms, IoT devices, and integrated systems.

Your company has on-premises network in Seattle and an Azure subscription. The on-premises network contains a Remote Desktop server.

The company contracts a third-party development firm from France to develop and deploy resources to the virtual machines hosted in the Azure subscription.

Currently, the firm establishes an RDP connection to the Remote Desktop server. From the Remote Desktop connection, the firm can access the virtual machines hosted in Azure by using custom administrative tools installed on the Remote Desktop server. All the traffic to the Remote Desktop server is captured by a firewall, and the firewall only allows specific connections from France to the server.

You need to recommend a modern security solution based on the Zero Trust model. The solution must minimize latency for developers.

Which three actions should you recommend? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.

Note: Each correct selection is worth one point.

  1. Configure network security groups (NSGs) to allow access from only specific logical groupings of IP address ranges.
  2. Deploy a Remote Desktop server to an Azure region located in France.
  3. Migrate from the Remote Desktop server to Azure Virtual Desktop.
  4. Implement Azure Firewall to restrict host pool outbound access.
  5. Configure Microsoft Entra Conditional Access with multi-factor authentication (MFA) and named locations.

Answer(s): C,D,E

Explanation:

E: Organizations can use this location for common tasks like:
Requiring multi-factor authentication for users accessing a service when they're off the corporate network.
Blocking access for users accessing a service from specific countries or regions.
The location is determined by the public IP address a client provides to Microsoft Entra ID or GPS coordinates provided by the Microsoft Authenticator app. Conditional Access policies by default apply to all IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
CD: Use Azure Firewall to protect Azure Virtual Desktop deployments.
Azure Virtual Desktop is a desktop and app virtualization service that runs on Azure.
When an end user connects to an Azure Virtual Desktop environment, their session is run by a host pool. A host pool is a collection of Azure virtual machines that register to Azure Virtual Desktop as session hosts. These virtual machines run in your virtual network and are subject to the virtual network security controls. They need outbound Internet access to the Azure Virtual Desktop service to operate properly and might also need outbound Internet access for end users. Azure Firewall can help you lock down your environment and filter outbound traffic.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:




Box 1: Microsoft Defender for IoT
Microsoft Defender for IoT is a unified security solution for identifying IoT and OT devices, vulnerabilities, and threats and managing them through a central interface.

Azure IoT Edge provides powerful capabilities to manage and perform business workflows at the edge. The key part that IoT Edge plays in IoT environments make it particularly attractive for malicious actors.

Defender for IoT azureiotsecurity provides a comprehensive security solution for your IoT Edge devices. Defender for IoT module collects, aggregates and analyzes raw security data from your Operating System and container system into actionable security recommendations and alerts.

Box 2: Microsoft Defender for Cloud and Azure Arc
Microsoft Defender for Cloud provides the following features in the CSPM (Cloud Security Posture Management) category in the multi-cloud scenario for AWS. Take into account that some of them require Defender plan to be enabled (such as Regulatory Compliance):
* Detection of security misconfigurations
* Single view showing Security Center recommendations and AWS Security Hub findings
* Incorporation of AWS resources into Security Center's secure score calculations
* Regulatory compliance assessments of AWS resources

Security Center uses Azure Arc to deploy the Log Analytics agent to AWS instances.

Incorrect:
AWS EC2 Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps
Amazon Web Services is an IaaS provider that enables your organization to host and manage their entire workloads in the cloud. Along with the benefits of leveraging infrastructure in the cloud, your organization's most critical assets may be exposed to threats. Exposed assets include storage instances with potentially sensitive information, compute resources that operate some of your most critical applications, ports, and virtual private networks that enable access to your organization.

Connecting AWS to Defender for Cloud Apps helps you secure your assets and detect potential threats by monitoring administrative and sign-in activities, notifying on possible brute force attacks, malicious use of a privileged user account, unusual deletions of VMs, and publicly exposed storage buckets.
