Microsoft Implementing End-to-End Security Controls for Cloud and AI Workloads Sample Questions:
You have an Azure subscription.
You need to create and deploy an Azure policy that meets the following requirements:
*When a new virtual machine is deployed, automatically install a custom security extension.
*Trigger an autogenerated remediation task for non-compliant virtual machines to install the extension.
What should you include in the policy? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
Definition effect: DeployIfNotExists; For remediation: a managed identity that has the Contributor role DeployIfNotExists is the Azure Policy effect used when a noncompliant resource should trigger deployment of a related configuration, such as a VM extension. Remediation tasks require a managed identity that has the role permissions needed to deploy the extension. Audit or Deny would only report or block resources. The managed identity is essential because Azure Policy performs the deployment on behalf of the assignment.
This answer also follows operational scalability. Microsoft security architecture favors policy-driven deployment, agentless assessment, managed identities, and Defender workload plans where possible. Those mechanisms reduce manual configuration while keeping enforcement tied to the resource type, which is why the selected choice is stronger than manual or after-the-fact alternatives. The result is a direct exam-style implementation choice: it changes the required security behavior without relying on unrelated monitoring, manual cleanup, or excessive privilege.

You have an Azure virtual network named VNet1 that contains three subnets named Subnet1, Subnet2 and Subnet3. A single network security group (NSG) named NSG1 is associated with all the subnets. You have the following virtual machines:
*VM1 on Subnet1
*VM2 on Subnet2
VM3 on Subnet3
You create two application security groups named ASG1 and ASG2. VM2 is a member of ASG1, and VM3 is a member of ASG2.
You need to ensure that only VM2 can connect to VM3. The solution must continue to work if the private IP address of VM2 changes.
How should you configure the inbound rule on NSG1 ? To answer, drag the settings to the correct configurations. Each setting 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.
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
Source: ASG1; Destination: ASG2
The requirement is identity-stable network filtering between virtual machines even if VM2 receives a different private IP address. Application security groups solve exactly that problem: rules refer to VM membership instead of a fixed IP. Because VM2 is a member of ASG1 and VM3 is a member of ASG2, the inbound allow rule on the shared NSG must use ASG1 as source and ASG2 as destination. Choosing IP addresses would fail the change-resilience requirement. The important exam skill is separating data-plane access, management-plane administration, and network reachability. A storage, database, or firewall setting must be selected because it enforces the exact path requested in the scenario. Distractors often look plausible because they improve security generally, but they do not satisfy the protocol, scope, or automation requirement stated in the question. The result is a direct exam-style implementation choice: it changes the required security behavior without relying on unrelated monitoring, manual cleanup, or excessive privilege.

You have an Azure subscription named Sub1 that is linked to a Microsoft Entra tenant named contoso.com.
Sub1 contains a Recovery Services vault named RSVault1 that stores virtual machine backups.
Your company's security team maintains a dedicated Microsoft Entra tenant named security.contoso.com.
You need to ensure that modifying the backup settings of RSVault1 requires approval from an approver in security.contoso.com.
What should you do in contoso.com?
- A. Enable Multi-user authorization (MUA) for RSVault1.
- B. Enable immutability for RSVault1 and lock the immutability setting.
- C. Create a private endpoint for RSVault1 on the virtual network.
- D. Configure Privileged Identity Management (PIM) activation for the Backup Operator role.
Correct Answer: A 🗳️
Explanation: Only visible for TestBraindump members. You can sign-up / login (it's free).
You have two management groups named MG1 and MG2 that contain multiple Azure subscriptions. The subscriptions are linked to a Microsoft Entra tenant.
You have a user named User1 and a global administrator named Admin 1
You are informed that User1 created an Azure subscription named Sub1 under the MG2 management group and is the only owner of the subscription.
You need to ensure that Admin1 can remove the Owner role from User1 for Sub1.
What should you do first?
- A. Move Sub1 to MG1.
- B. Instruct Admin1 to enable Access management for Azure resources.
- C. Assign Admin1 the User Access Administrator role for Sub1.
- D. Instruct Admin1 to use Privileged Identity Management (PIM) to request the Security Administrator role.
Correct Answer: B 🗳️
Explanation: Only visible for TestBraindump members. You can sign-up / login (it's free).
You have a Microsoft Sentinel workspace named Workspace1.
You hire a security consultant. You provide the consultant with a guest account named User1 in your Microsoft Entra tenant.
You need to enable User1 to assign incidents in Workspace1.
Which roles should you assign to User1? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
Role type
Selection
Microsoft Entra role
Directory Reader
Azure role
Microsoft Sentinel Responder
For a guest user to assign Microsoft Sentinel incidents, Microsoft specifically requires two permissions:
Directory Reader in Microsoft Entra ID and Microsoft Sentinel Responder for the Sentinel workspace.
Microsoft's Sentinel incident investigation guidance states that the Microsoft Sentinel Responder role is required to investigate and manage incidents, including incident assignment. It also explicitly states that when a guest user needs to assign incidents , the account must additionally be assigned the Directory Reader role in the Microsoft Entra tenant.
The Directory Reader role supplies the directory-read capability required for a guest account to resolve and work with tenant identities during incident ownership assignment. Guest users do not receive the same default directory-read permissions as regular tenant member accounts.
For the Azure RBAC selection, Microsoft Sentinel Responder is the least-privileged appropriate role. Its permissions include management operations over Microsoft Sentinel incidents. Microsoft Sentinel Reader is insufficient because it only provides read access, while Microsoft Sentinel Contributor would provide broader permissions than necessary.
