Case study

This is a case study. Case studies are not timed separately. You can use as much exam time as you would like to complete each case. However, there may be additional case studies and sections on this exam. You must manage your time to ensure that you are able to complete all questions included on this exam in the time provided.

To answer the questions included in a case study, you will need to reference information that is provided in the case study. Case studies might contain exhibits and other resources that provide more information about the scenario that is described in the case study. Each question is independent of the other questions in this case study.

At the end of this case study, a review screen will appear. This screen allows you to review your answers and to make changes before you move to the next section of the exam. After you begin a new section, you cannot return to this section.

  2. the Azure Automanage machine configuration extension for Windows
  3. an Azure resource lock
  4. an Azure resource tag

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Server2 must be excluded from agentless scanning.
Exclude machines from scanning
Agentless scanning applies to all of the eligible machines in the subscription. To prevent specific machines from being scanned, you can exclude machines from agentless scanning based on your pre-existing environment tags. When Defender for Cloud performs the continuous discovery for machines, excluded machines are skipped.
To configure machines for exclusion:
1. From Defender for Cloud's menu, open Environment settings.
2. Select the relevant subscription or multicloud connector.
3. For either the Defender Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) or Defender for Servers P2 plan, select Settings.
4. For agentless scanning, select Edit configuration.
Enter the tag name and value that applies to the machines that you want to exempt. You can enter multiple tag:value pairs.


6. Select Save to apply the changes.

HOTSPOT (Drag and Drop is not supported)
You have an Azure subscription that has Microsoft Defender for Cloud enabled for all supported resource types.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:




Box 1: When a Microsoft Defender for Cloud Recommendation is created or triggered
When a Microsoft Defender for Cloud Recommendation is created or triggered - If your logic app relies on a recommendation that gets deprecated or replaced, your automation will stop working and you'll need to update the trigger. (also see step 6 below)
Incorrect:
When a Defender for Cloud Alert is created or triggered
You can customize the trigger so that it relates only to alerts with the severity levels that interest you.
* When a response to a Defender for Cloud alert is triggered. Note:
If you are using the legacy trigger "When a response to a Microsoft Defender for Cloud alert is triggered", your logic apps will not be launched by the Workflow Automation feature. Instead, use either of the triggers mentioned above [rather in step 6 below].
Box 2: Workflow automation
Create a logic app and define when it should automatically run
From Defender for Cloud's sidebar, select Workflow automation.
From this page you can create new automation rules, enable, disable, or delete existing ones.
To define a new workflow, select Add workflow automation. The options pane for your new automation opens.
Here you can enter:
A name and description for the automation.
The triggers that will initiate this automatic workflow. For example, you might want your Logic App to run when a security alert that contains "SQL" is generated.
The Logic App that will run when your trigger conditions are met.
From the Actions section, select visit the Logic Apps page to begin the Logic App creation process.
Select (+) Add.
Fill out all required fields and select Review + Create.
The message Deployment is in progress appears. Wait for the deployment complete notification to appear and select Go to resource from the notification.
Review the information you entered and select Create.
The logic app designer supports the following Defender for Cloud triggers:
When a Microsoft Defender for Cloud Recommendation is created or triggered - If your logic app relies on a recommendation that gets deprecated or replaced, your automation will stop working and you'll need to update the trigger. To track changes to recommendations, use the release notes.
When a Defender for Cloud Alert is created or triggered - You can customize the trigger so that it relates only to alerts with the severity levels that interest you.
When a Defender for Cloud regulatory compliance assessment is created or triggered - Trigger automations based on updates to regulatory compliance assessments.
7. Etc.
