- Asensitivity labels
- Bcustom user tags
- Cstandalone sensors
- Dhoneytoken entity tagsMost Voted
Correct Answer:
D
Honeytoken entities are used as traps for malicious actors. Any authentication associated with these honeytoken entities triggers an alert.
Incorrect:
Not B: custom user tags -
After you apply system tags or custom tags to users, you can use those tags as filters in alerts, reports, and investigation.

- AKQL
- BplaybooksMost Voted
- Cdata connectors
- Dworkbooks
Correct Answer:
B
Playbooks in Microsoft Sentinel are based on workflows built in Azure Logic Apps, a cloud service that helps you schedule, automate, and orchestrate tasks and workflows across systems throughout the enterprise.
A playbook is a collection of these remediation actions that can be run from Microsoft Sentinel as a routine. A playbook can help automate and orchestrate your threat response; it can be run manually or set to run automatically in response to specific alerts or incidents, when triggered by an analytics rule or an automation rule, respectively.
Incorrect:
Not A: Kusto Query Language is a powerful tool to explore your data and discover patterns, identify anomalies and outliers, create statistical modeling, and more.
The query uses schema entities that are organized in a hierarchy similar to SQL's: databases, tables, and columns.
Not D: Workbooks provide a flexible canvas for data analysis and the creation of rich visual reports within the Azure portal. They allow you to tap into multiple data sources from across Azure, and combine them into unified interactive experiences.
Workbooks allow users to visualize the active alerts related to their resources.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
- AEnable soft delete for backups.Most Voted
- BRequire PINs for critical operations.Most Voted
- CEncrypt backups by using customer-managed keys (CMKs).
- DPerform offline backups to Azure Data Box.
- EUse Azure Monitor notifications when backup configurations change.
Correct Answer:
BE
Checks have been added to make sure only valid users can perform various operations. These include adding an extra layer of authentication. As part of adding an extra layer of authentication for critical operations, you're prompted to enter a security PIN before modifying online backups.
Your backups need to be protected from sophisticated bot and malware attacks. Permanent loss of data can have significant cost and time implications to your business. To help protect against this, Azure Backup guards against malicious attacks through deeper security, faster notifications, and extended recoverability.
For deeper security, only users with valid Azure credentials will receive a security PIN generated by the Azure portal to allow them to backup data. If a critical backup operation is authorized, such as ג€delete backup data,ג€ a notification is immediately sent so you can engage and minimize the impact to your business. If a hacker does delete backup data, Azure Backup will store the deleted backup data for up to 14 days after deletion.
E: Key benefits of Azure Monitor alerts include:
Monitor alerts at-scale via Backup center: In addition to enabling you to manage the alerts from Azure Monitor dashboard, Azure Backup also provides an alert management experience tailored to backups via Backup center. This allows you to filter alerts by backup specific properties, such as workload type, vault location, and so on, and a way to get quick visibility into the active backup security alerts that need attention.

Use a managed identity. You use Azure AD as the identity provider.
Box 2: An access review in Identity Governance
Access to groups and applications for employees and guests changes over time. To reduce the risk associated with stale access assignments, administrators can use Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) to create access reviews for group members or application access.

Correct Answer:
Box 1: Data connectors -
Microsoft Sentinel connector streams security alerts from Microsoft Defender for Cloud into Microsoft Sentinel.
Launch a WAF workbook (see step 7 below)
The WAF workbook works for all Azure Front Door, Application Gateway, and CDN WAFs. Before connecting the data from these resources, log analytics must be enabled on your resource.
To enable log analytics for each resource, go to your individual Azure Front Door, Application Gateway, or CDN resource:
1. Select Diagnostic settings.
2. Select + Add diagnostic setting.
3. In the Diagnostic setting page (details skipped)
4. On the Azure home page, type Microsoft Sentinel in the search bar and select the Microsoft Sentinel resource.
5. Select an already active workspace or create a new workspace.
6. On the left side panel under Configuration select Data Connectors.
7. Search for Azure web application firewall and select Azure web application firewall (WAF). Select Open connector page on the bottom right.
8. Follow the instructions under Configuration for each WAF resource that you want to have log analytic data for if you haven't done so previously.
9. Once finished configuring individual WAF resources, select the Next steps tab. Select one of the recommended workbooks. This workbook will use all log analytic data that was enabled previously. A working WAF workbook should now exist for your WAF resources.
Box 2: The Log Analytics agent -
Use the Log Analytics agent to integrate with Microsoft Defender for cloud.

The Log Analytics agent is required for solutions, VM insights, and other services such as Microsoft Defender for Cloud.
Note: The Log Analytics agent in Azure Monitor can also be used to collect monitoring data from the guest operating system of virtual machines. You may choose to use either or both depending on your requirements.
Azure Log Analytics agent -
Use Defender for Cloud to review alerts from the virtual machines.
The Azure Log Analytics agent collects telemetry from Windows and Linux virtual machines in any cloud, on-premises machines, and those monitored by System
Center Operations Manager and sends collected data to your Log Analytics workspace in Azure Monitor.
Incorrect:
The Azure Diagnostics extension does not integrate with Microsoft Defender for Cloud.
