Question 570
During a migration readiness meeting at a regional e-commerce platform, the compliance analyst records this concrete requirement: A tenant needs to detect risky OAuth application permissions granted to third-party apps. The solution must address this requirement directly, without replacing unrelated controls. The team implements the following response: Review appropriate Defender for Cloud Apps app governance insights and consented app risk. Which evidence BEST verifies that the action met its stated purpose?
- Review protection coverage and attack telemetry or metrics for the protected public endpoint.
- Review changing resource recommendations and resolve a test misconfiguration in the assessed scope.
- Compare resource assessments and exceptions against the assigned policy definition.
- Inspect application permissions, detected app activity, and revocation or remediation decisions.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:Inspect application permissions, detected app activity, and revocation or remediation decisions. App governance helps evaluate risk from OAuth-enabled cloud applications and their permissions.
Incorrect Answers
A:Review protection coverage and attack telemetry or metrics for the protected public endpoint. This would test azure ddos protection, whereas the required evidence is: Inspect application permissions, detected app activity, and revocation or remediation decisions.
B:Review changing resource recommendations and resolve a test misconfiguration in the assessed scope. This would test cloud security posture management, whereas the required evidence is: Inspect application permissions, detected app activity, and revocation or remediation decisions.
C:Compare resource assessments and exceptions against the assigned policy definition. This would test security policy and standards, whereas the required evidence is: Inspect application permissions, detected app activity, and revocation or remediation decisions.
Question 571
Following a privacy readiness assessment at a global consulting firm, the IT operations director has to defend a design against oversimplified assumptions.
