Question 590
During a pilot deployment at a public transport operator, the application administrator records this concrete requirement: Multiple Azure subnets require centralized, stateful network traffic policy and logging. The solution must address this requirement directly, without replacing unrelated controls. The team implements the following response: Use Azure Firewall and deliberate routing to enforce central network and application traffic rules. Which evidence BEST verifies that the action met its stated purpose?
- Inspect effective routes, matching firewall rules, and firewall diagnostic logs for sample connections.
- Confirm isolation status and investigate subsequent connection behavior on the targeted device.
- Inspect investigation results, action approvals where configured, and remediation history.
- Confirm multiple data sources feed searchable events and correlation alerts into the SOC platform.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:Inspect effective routes, matching firewall rules, and firewall diagnostic logs for sample connections. This tests the relevant control rather than an adjacent capability. The implemented response is: Use Azure Firewall and deliberate routing to enforce central network and application traffic rules. The control principle is: Azure Firewall supplies centralized network traffic inspection and rule enforcement for routed flows.

Question 593
During a new service launch at a manufacturer with remote factories, the incident responder records this concrete requirement: An internet website needs protection against common HTTP request attacks such as SQL injection. The solution must address this requirement directly, without replacing unrelated controls. Which primary response BEST meets the requirement?
- Place an appropriate Azure Web Application Firewall policy in the web traffic path.
- Use Microsoft Sentinel hunting queries against available telemetry and preserve findings.
- Apply Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Safe Links policy to protected users and content.
- Use an appropriate Defender for Endpoint device isolation response when authorized and supported.
Explanation
Correct Answer
A:Place an appropriate Azure Web Application Firewall policy in the web traffic path. This is the best match because WAF is focused on HTTP or HTTPS application-layer request protection, not general VM management. A practical confirmation is: Review WAF logs and matched rules for simulated malicious HTTP requests.
Incorrect Answers
B:Use Microsoft Sentinel hunting queries against available telemetry and preserve findings. That addresses a different task: a SOC wants to investigate a threat hypothesis that has not yet matched an active analytic rule. The present requirement concerns azure web application firewall.
C:Apply Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Safe Links policy to protected users and content. That addresses a different task: a company wants supported scanning of suspicious URLs users click in email or Office content. The present requirement concerns azure web application firewall.
D:Use an appropriate Defender for Endpoint device isolation response when authorized and supported. This response addresses a different security or compliance task, namely: An analyst needs to limit the network spread of a confirmed compromised endpoint. The immediate case instead calls for azure web application firewall; specifically, place an appropriate azure web application firewall policy in the web traffic path.
