A company uses Microsoft 365.
The company expresses the need to adopt the concept of assumed breach and mitigate it.
You need to recommend the access type to implement.
Which access should you recommend?
network segmentation
Network segmentation is one the most common techniques that is used to implement the principle of assumed breach. External firewalls are not considered sufficient in the context of the principle of assumed breach since they are based on the premise that the breach has not taken place yet. Just-in-time access is part of the implementation of the least privileged access principle. Password-based authentication is no longer viewed as a sufficient way to protect access to secured resources and is not part of the implementation of the principle of assumed breach.
A company uses Microsoft 365.
The company needs real-time policy evaluation to involve access control through segmentation.
You need to recommend the primary component of the Zero Trust model that needs to be configured.
Which primary component do you recommend?
Network
Network-based protection relies on such components as internal segmentation and micro-segmentation. Granularity in apps-based protection is typically based on roles. Device-based protection relies on device risk and compliance state. Infrastructure-based protection relies on such components as just-in-time (JIT) and version control.

By default, guests can use their existing Microsoft Entra ID work or school accounts and their Microsoft account to redeem the B2B collaboration invitations received. Facebook federation can be configured for self-service sign up when building an app. It cannot be used as a sign in option to redeem external collaboration invitations. Active Directory is an on-premises directory service, which cannot be used to fulfill external sharing requirements.
A company is planning the user login process for access to Microsoft 365.
The company needs to document the login process stages. You need to explain the process that verifies if a username and password combination is correct.
Which named process should you explain?
Authentication
Authentication is the process of verifying if the provided credentials are correct. Authorization occurs after authentication, and defines, for an identity that has already been authenticated, to which resources access should be granted or denied. Zero Trust is an approach that assumes that all requests come from an open and untrusted network. The Shared responsibility model is a way to shift the security responsibilities between the customer and the cloud provider.
A company implements Microsoft 365.
The company has a new remote work policy for employees.
You need to recommend a solution that meets the following requirements:
Employees can only access company resources from specific locations.
Extra authentication factors are included.
Which solution should you recommend?
Conditional Access
Microsoft Entra ID Conditional Access includes location-based policies and multifactor authentications. JIT access does not include extra authentication methods and location policies. JIT is part of implementing the principle of least privilege access. Federation does not include extra authentication methods and location policies. It allows users authenticated by one identity provider, such as Microsoft Entra ID, to access resources that are controlled by other identity providers. Micro-segmentation does not include extra authentication methods and location policies. Micro-segmentation is a network-based control mechanism.
A company uses Microsoft Entra ID as an authentication platform.
Active Directory is not integrated with Microsoft Entra ID. The company needs to use Microsoft Defender to check potentially compromised users.
You need to recommend a solution.
Which solution should you recommend?
Defender for Identity
Defender for Identity is a solution that uses the Active Directory data as signals to identify suspicious activities. Defender for Office 365 protects against threats in email messages. Defender for Cloud Apps operates as an intermediary between the cloud user and cloud provider, mediating the requests sent to the cloud providers. Defender for Endpoint is used to protect devices (endpoints), integrating with Microsoft Intune, Defender for Cloud, and other services.
A company implements Microsoft 365.
The company’s security team needs to understand threat signals for Microsoft 365 products and services. You need to recommend a solution that meets the following requirements:

Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps provides advanced threat protection to cloud apps.
A company authenticates by using Active Directory for its on-premises applications and resources. The company uses Microsoft 365.
The company requires single sign-on (SSO) with smart cards or certificates for the cloud apps and on-premises objects.
You need to recommend a Microsoft Entra ID authentication method.
Which authentication method should you recommend?
Federated
Federated authentication is a recommended authentication for companies with complex requirements that cannot be met by Microsoft Entra ID. User authentication validation happens on the company’s Active Directory single sign-on (SSO) with smart cards or certificates, which is supported through federated authentication. Password hash synchronization, pass-through authentication, and passwordless authentication do not support SSO with smart cards or certificates.
Password hash synchronization enables users to sign in to on-premises and cloud applications using the same password. This ensures that the user’s authentication takes place in Microsoft Entra ID rather than the company’s on-premises Active Directory. Pass-through authentication enables users to sign in to on-premises and cloud applications using the same password. This authentication type validates the user’s password against the company’s on-premises Active Directory, not Microsoft Entra ID. Passwordless authentication is a more convenient way to authenticate because passwords are completely removed and replaced by something you have, something you are, or something you own.
A company uses Microsoft Entra ID.
Internal authenticated users who try to access company apps outside the designated IP range must be blocked.
You need to recommend a Microsoft Entra ID feature the company should use.
Which feature should you recommend?
Conditional access
Conditional access provides an additional layer of security for authenticated users who try to access company apps and data. Access can be restricted based on several signals, which include user or group membership, named location information, device application, real-time risk detection, user risks, cloud apps, or actions. After the policy is applied, a decision is reached whether to block access, grant access, or require additional verification. User flows are used to create sign in and sign-up policies for external identities (Microsoft Entra ID B2C). External identities help companies manage external users. Role-based access is used to assign a collection of permissions to a user.
A company uses Microsoft Entra ID.
The help desk receives multiple requests for password changes from employees.
You need to recommend a solution to avoid these requests.
Which Microsoft Entra ID feature should you recommend?
self-service password reset
Microsoft Entra ID self-service password reset is a Microsoft Entra ID feature that allows users to reset and update their passwords. Multifactor authentication, password hash synchronization, and pass-through authentication do not provide this capability. They are features of Microsoft Entra ID, but each provides a different function. Multifactor authentication creates an additional layer of security after authentication. Password hash synchronization enables authentication for on-premises Active Directory objects in Microsoft Entra ID. Pass-through authentication enables sign-in to both on-premises and cloud applications using the same password.
A company uses Microsoft 365.

The Exchange admin portal, SharePoint admin center, and Microsoft Purview compliance portal cannot be used to manage or monitor these attacks. The Exchange admin portal is used to manage advanced email settings, such as quarantine, encryption, and mail flow rules. The SharePoint admin center is used to manage sites, sharing, and storage for SharePoint and OneDrive. The Purview compliance portal is used to help the company understand its compliance needs.
A company uses Microsoft 365.
The company wants protection against insider risks, such as IP theft and data leaks.
You need to recommend a service that provides this type of protection.
What should you recommend?
Microsoft Purview
Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management uses indicators from Microsoft 365 and third parties to detect potentially risky activity. It uses logs from Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Graph, allowing a company to identify risks and take action to mitigate the risks. Protecting against IP theft requires understanding the content of data stored and how it is shared, which is not offered by Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. The Priva Privacy Risk Management feature can detect overexposed data and data transfers but does not block them. It only notifies users who must decide which action to take themselves. The Service Trust Portal demonstrates how Microsoft cloud services protect customer’s data. It provides information rather than actual protection against IP theft and data leaks.

The global reader role allows a user to view admin features and settings in Microsoft 365 admin centers, but not to access Microsoft 365 applications via the user portal. Access to the Microsoft 365 user portal does not require browser extensions or the use of Microsoft Edge.
A company creates virtual machines in the public cloud.
The company needs to have full responsibility for managing the operating systems and network controls.
Which cloud service model should you use?
Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)
The IaaS model provides the ability to have full responsibility for the management of your operating systems and network controls. Software-as-a-Service provides access to the applications in the cloud. All you need is to provide the data. Operating systems and network controls cannot be managed in the SaaS model. Operating systems cannot be managed with this model and network controls are a shared responsibility.
A company uses Microsoft 365.
Which three services are fully hosted and managed by Microsoft in the cloud? Each correct answer is a complete solution.
Microsoft OneDrive
Microsoft Bookings
Microsoft Viva Connections

A company evaluates productivity solutions to implement.
The solution must be able to:
Provide employees access to Microsoft Office applications.
Minimize the company’s maintenance and management costs.
You need to recommend a solution.
Which type of cloud service should you recommend?
Software as a Service (SaaS)
The company should use Microsoft 365, which is an example of Software as a Service (SaaS). SaaS provides the ability to use software without the need for development of custom software-based solutions or managing the underlying networking, storage, and compute services. IaaS consists of infrastructure services (such as networking and storage) and compute offerings that provide full access to the operating system running in cloud-hosted virtual machines but imposes extra management and maintenance overhead. PaaS consists of services that provide the ability to develop software-based solutions without the need to manage the underlying networking, storage, and compute services, as well as eliminate the need for full access to the operating system running in cloud-hosted virtual machines. However, PaaS solutions do require a certain degree of management and maintenance, considerably higher than Software as a Service (SaaS) offerings.
A company uses a Microsoft SQL Server with several databases in their data center.
The company plans to move the databases to the cloud.
The cloud provider should be responsible for:
Software installation
Database backups
Database engine upgrades
You need to recommend a service.
Which type of service should you recommend?
Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)
Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) is similar to IaaS (virtual machines) but offers a specific service with most of the management being the responsibility of the cloud provider. Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is software hosted by a cloud provider and available to users. Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) is equivalent to virtual machines, where the customer is responsible for installing and configuring all the software running on it. Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) offers a platform for hosting functions, which usually respond to events, being triggered only for a very specific action and stopped immediately after concluding the task.
A company hosts several services in an on-premises data center.
You are making a presentation to the company about the benefits of cloud computing.
Which two cloud computing benefits should you describe? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
high availability of resources
ability to deploy apps across regions
Cloud computing provides high availability of resources. Cloud computing provides geo-distribution, which gives the ability to deploy apps and other resources across regions. In cloud computing, the service provider has control of the data center, not the company. In cloud computing, data does not reside locally.
