You recently discovered that the developers at your company emailed Azure Storage Account keys in plain text to third parties.

You need to ensure that when Azure Storage Account keys are emailed, the emails are encrypted.

Solution: You create a data loss prevention (DLP) policy that has only the Exchange email location selected.

Does this meet the goal?

AYes

BNo

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

To ensure Azure Storage Account keys are encrypted when sent via email, you need a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy that detects Azure Storage Account keys using a sensitive information type and automatically encrypts emails containing these keys.

A DLP policy with Exchange email as the only location meets this requirement because it identifies sensitive data in email messages and it applies protection actions, such as encryption, blocking, or alerts.

Wait, are we sure this actually encrypts the keys?

I don't think just selecting Exchange is enough.

If I recall correctly, DLP policies need to encompass all potential email locations to be effective.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like just focusing on Exchange might leave other channels unprotected.

I remember a practice question where we had to consider all email locations for DLP policies. This feels similar.

I think selecting only the Exchange email location might not cover all scenarios where the keys could be sent.

I'm a little confused here. The question mentions that the solution is to create a DLP policy, but it doesn't specify what the policy should do. I'll need to think through the details of how DLP policies can be used to encrypt email content before I can confidently answer this.

Okay, I've got this. The question is asking if the given solution of creating a DLP policy with only the Exchange email location selected will meet the goal of ensuring Azure Storage Account keys are encrypted when emailed. Based on my understanding of DLP policies, this should work, as it will apply the encryption to any emails containing those sensitive keys.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question seems straightforward, but I want to make sure I fully understand the implications of the DLP policy before answering. I'll need to review the details of how DLP policies work with email encryption.

I think the key here is to focus on the specific requirement of ensuring that Azure Storage Account keys are encrypted when emailed. The question states that the solution is to create a DLP policy with only the Exchange email location selected, so I'll carefully consider whether that meets the goal.

The correct answer is B) No. Limiting the DLP policy to just email won't prevent keys from being shared through other methods. This is a good start, but more comprehensive measures are needed.

Haha, emailing Azure keys in plain text? Someone's getting fired! But seriously, this DLP policy is just a bandaid, not a real solution.

Encrypting the emails is a good start, but it doesn't address the root issue of developers emailing sensitive information in plain text. This needs a wider policy review.
