You need to delegate a user to implement the planned change for Defender for Cloud. The solution must follow the principle of least privilege.
Which user should you choose?
You have an Azure subscription named Sub1 that contains 50 virtual machines. Sub1 has Microsoft Defender for Cloud enabled.
Sub1 contains an Azure key vault named KV1 and an Azure policy that enforces storing all secrets in KV1.
Occasionally, the developers at your company store plaintext tokens and SSH private keys on the virtual machines.
You need to configure Defender for Cloud to detect plaintext secrets on the virtual machines. The solution must minimize administrative changes to the virtual machines.

You have Microsoft Security Copilot agents that authenticate by using Microsoft Entra service principals.
You receive a Microsoft Defender alert triggered by the anomalous OAuth authentication of an agent ' s Microsoft Entra service principal.
You need to assess the impact of the agent identity and identify which resources are affected if the identity is abused for lateral movement The solution must minimize administrative effort.
What should you do?
You have an Azure subscription named Sub1 that contains a storage account named storage1
Sub1 has Microsoft Defender for Storage enabled. Defender for Storage has on-upload malware scanning enabled for a monthly cap of 10,000 GB per storage account.
You use a Microsoft Sentinel workspace to monitor security events on all Azure resources.
You need to configure storage1 to use a malware scanning cap of 2.000 GB per month.
What should you do?
You have an Azure subscription that contains a resource group named RG1.
RG1 contains a Microsoft Security Copilot deployment that is integrated with a Microsoft Sentinel workspace named Workspace1.
Analysts use the Security Copilot standalone experience to retrieve incidents by using the Microsoft Sentinel plugin.
A user named User1 can sign in to Security Copilot but cannot retrieve incidents from Workspace1. You verify that User1 lias only the Security Copilot Contributor role.
You need to ensure that User1 can retrieve the incidents. The solution must follow the principle of least privilege and NOT require any configuration changes to Security Copilot.
Which role should you assign to User1?
You have a Microsoft Copilot Studio agent.
A Microsoft Power Platform administrator configures external threat detection for the agent by using a Microsoft Entra application.
You need to ensure that real-time protection is enabled during agent runtime.
What should you do in the Microsoft Defender portal?
You have an Azure Storage account named storage1 that hosts a blob container named container1.
You have an Azure Functions app named app1 that uses a managed identity.
You need to configure app1 to read, write, and delete blobs in container1. The solution must follow the principle of least privilege.
What should you do?
You have an Azure key vault named KV1 that uses role-based access control (RBAC) for data plane authorization.
You have a user named User1 and an Azure App Service web app named App1 that has a system-assigned managed identity.
You need to configure authorization to meet the following requirements:
•App1 must be able to retrieve secrets from KV1.
•User1 must manage the KV1 settings without accessing secret values.
The solution must follow the principle of least privilege.
Which role should you assign to each identity for KV1? To answer, drag the appropriate roles to the correct identities. Each role 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.

You need to collect Windows security events from 200 Azure virtual machines that run Windows Server. The solution must meet the following requirements:
•Use direct agent based data collection from each virtual machine.
•Use a supported agent for new virtual machine deployments
Which Microsoft Sentinel connector should you use?
You have three internet-facing Azure App Service web apps named App1, App2, and App1 Each app uses built-in authentication.
App2 hosts a backend API.
Some corporate users can sign in to App2, even though they should NOT be able to use the API.
