You have an Azure subscription that uses Microsoft Defender for Servers Plan 1 and contains a server named Server1.
You enable agentless scanning.
You need to prevent Server1 from being scanned. The solution must minimize administrative effort. What should you do?

  1. Create an exclusion tag.
  2. Upgrade the subscription to Defender for Servers Plan 2.
  3. Create a governance rule.
  4. Create an exclusion group.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

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:
From Defender for Cloud's menu, open Environment settings.
Select the relevant subscription or multicloud connector.
For either the Defender Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) or Defender for Servers P2 plan, select Settings.
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.
Note:
Defender for Servers Plan 1 is entry-level and must be enabled at the subscription level.
Features include:
Foundational cloud security posture management (CSPM), which is provided free by Defender for Cloud.
Defender for Servers Plan 2 provides all features. The plan must be enabled at the subscription level and at the workspace level to get full feature coverage. Features include:
All the functionality that's provided by Defender for Servers Plan 1. More extended detection and response (XDR) capabilities.

You need to configure Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps to generate alerts and trigger remediation actions in response to external sharing of confidential files.
Which two actions should you perform in the Microsoft Defender portal? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

  1. From Settings, select Information Protection, select Azure Information Protection, and then select Only scan files for Azure Information Protection classification labels and content inspection warnings from this tenant.
  2. From Cloud apps, select Files, and then filter File Type to Document.
  3. From Settings, select Information Protection, select Files, and then enable file monitoring.
  4. From Cloud apps, select Files, and then filter App to Office 365.
  5. From Cloud apps, select Files, and then select New policy from search.
  6. From Settings, select Information Protection, select Azure Information Protection, and then select Automatically scan new files for Azure Information Protection classification labels and content inspection warnings.

Answer(s): B,F

Explanation:

Discover and protect sensitive information in your organization
Phase 1: Discover your data Details omitted.
(D) Phase 2: Classify sensitive informationDefine which information is sensitive. Details omitted.Enable Microsoft Information Protection integrationIn the Microsoft 365 Defender portal, select Settings. Then choose Cloud Apps.Under Information Protection, go to Microsoft Information Protection. Select Automatically scan new files for Microsoft Information Protection sensitivity labels and content inspection warnings.Etc.
Phase 3: Protect your data

E: File filters in Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps
File monitoring should be enabled in Settings. In the Microsoft 365 Defender portal, select Settings. Then choose Cloud Apps. Under Information Protection, select Files. Select Enable file monitoring and then select Save.
Note: To provide data protection, Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps gives you visibility into all the files from your connected apps. After you connect Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps to an app using the App connector, Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps scans all the files, for example all the files stored in OneDrive and Salesforce. Then, Defender for Cloud Apps rescans each file every time it's modified – the modification can be to content, metadata, or sharing permissions. Scanning times depend on the number of files stored in your app. You can also use the Files page to filter files to investigate what kind of data is saved in your cloud apps.
('Microsoft 365 Defender' and 'Microsoft Defender XDR' are just terminologies used to group different platforms together.)
