Discuss Microsoft SC-100 Exam Topic 2 Question 28

You have a Microsoft 365 subscription and an Azure subscription. Microsoft 365 Defender and Microsoft Defender for Cloud are enabled.

The Azure subscription contains 50 virtual machines. Each virtual machine runs different applications on Windows Server 2019.

You need to recommend a solution to ensure that only authorized applications can run on the virtual machines. If an unauthorized application attempts to run or be installed, the application must be blocked automatically until an administrator authorizes the application.

Which security control should you recommend?

AAzure Active Directory (Azure AD) Conditional Access App Control policies

BOAuth app policies in Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps

Capp protection policies in Microsoft Endpoint Manager

Dapplication control policies in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint

Suggested Answer: C

Surprised this isn't a more common topic in discussions!

Gail 11 months ago

I’ve used app protection policies before, but they don’t seem to fit this scenario.

Karina 12 months ago

Wait, are we sure about that? I thought Azure AD Conditional Access was more relevant here.

Louvenia 12 months ago

Definitely agree with that! It's the best fit for blocking unauthorized apps.

Jeniffer 1 year ago

I think application control policies in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint are the way to go.

Thaddeus 1 year ago

I'm leaning towards Azure AD Conditional Access, but I wonder if that really applies to blocking unauthorized applications directly.

Jackie 1 year ago

I feel like I saw a similar question about application whitelisting in one of our practice exams. Was it related to Defender for Endpoint?

Shawna 1 year ago

I think the answer might be related to Microsoft Endpoint Manager, but I can't recall the exact details of app protection policies.

Jenelle 1 year ago

I remember studying application control policies, but I'm not entirely sure if it's specifically for Defender for Endpoint.

Dorian 1 year ago

I'm pretty confident that option D is the right choice here. Application control policies in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint sound like they're designed exactly for this kind of use case. I'll make sure to read through the details, but I think that's the security control I'll recommend.

Letha 1 year ago

Okay, let me think this through. We need a way to ensure only authorized apps can run on the VMs, and block any unauthorized apps. I'm leaning towards option C, the app protection policies in Microsoft Endpoint Manager. That seems like it could give us the control we need over the applications.

Mel 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question mentions Microsoft 365 Defender and Microsoft Defender for Cloud, so I'm wondering if one of those solutions might be a better fit. Maybe I should look into the OAuth app policies in Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps (option B) as well.

Ronald 1 year ago

This looks like a pretty straightforward question about application control policies. I think I'll go with option D - Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's application control policies. That seems like the most direct way to control which apps can run on the VMs.

Leatha 1 year ago

Okay, let's see... I know there are things like condition, error, and timeout, but I'm not sure about the other options. I'll have to review my notes on exception handling.

Denise 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know there are a few group techniques, but I can't remember the exact names. I'll have to think it through carefully.

Wilda 1 year ago

I've got this! The query is updating the "name" field for all documents where the "id" is between 1 and 3, so the answer is 3 documents.

Elly 1 year ago

I'm a bit confused by the question. Superscan and NBTscan don't seem like the right tools for this task. I'll have to review my notes on network reconnaissance and OS detection to make the best choice.

Arlyne 1 year ago

I'm pretty confident about this one. The Schema Centralization pattern is all about having a shared schema that multiple services can depend on, so the answer has to be True.

Dorathy 1 year ago

I bet the correct answer is B. Adaptive application controls in Defender for Cloud. It's like the bouncer at the virtual nightclub, keeping the unwanted apps out!

Nina 2 years ago

B. Adaptive application controls in Defender for Cloud is the way to go! Easy to set up and will keep those rogue apps in check. No more 'unauthorized app of the day' surprises!
