AZ-500 Microsoft Azure Security Technologies Questions and Answers

A federated authentication system relies on an external trusted system to authenticate users. Some companies want to reuse their existing federated system investment with their Azure AD hybrid identity solution. The maintenance and management of the federated system falls outside the control of Azure AD. It's up to the organization by using the federated system to make sure it's deployed securely and can handle the authentication load.

Box 1: Admin3 only

The Contributor role has the necessary write permissions to create the resource group.

Box 2: Admin4 only

You need Owner level access to be able to manage permissions. The Contributor role can do most things but cannot modify permissions on existing objects.

The key vault needs to be in the same subscription and same region as the VM.

VM4 is in West US. KeyVault1 is the only key vault in the same region as the VM.

The storage account and the key vault must be in the same region and in the same Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant, but they can be in different subscriptions.

Storage1 is in the West US region. KeyVault1 is the only key vault in the same region.

The Standard tier extends the capabilities of the Free tier to workloads running in private and other public clouds, providing unified security management and threat protection across your hybrid cloud workloads. The Standard tier also adds advanced threat detection capabilities, which uses built-in behavioral analytics and machine learning to identify attacks and zero-day exploits, access and application controls to reduce exposure to network attacks and malware, and more.

1) Microsoft.Compute/

2) disks

3) /subscrption/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{Resource Group Id}

A new custom RBAC role named Role1 must be used to delegate the administration of the managed disks in Resource Group1. Role1 must be available only for Resource Group1.

Scenario: Azure AD users must be to authenticate to AKS1 by using their Azure AD credentials.

Litewire plans to deploy AKS1, which is a managed AKS (Azure Kubernetes Services) cluster.

Step 1: Create a server application

To provide Azure AD authentication for an AKS cluster, two Azure AD applications are created. The first application is a server component that provides user authentication.

Step 2: Create a client application

The second application is a client component that's used when you're prompted by the CLI for authentication. This client application uses the server application for the actual authentication of the credentials provided by the client.

Step 3: Deploy an AKS cluster.

Use the az group create command to create a resource group for the AKS cluster.

Use the az aks create command to deploy the AKS cluster.

Step 4: Create an RBAC binding.

Before you use an Azure Active Directory account with an AKS cluster, you must create role-binding or cluster role-binding. Roles define the permissions to grant, and bindings apply them to desired users. These assignments can be applied to a given namespace, or across the entire cluster.

From scenario: Deploy Azure Firewall to VNetwork1 in Sub2.

Azure firewall needs a dedicated subnet named AzureFirewallSubnet.

Box 1: User1, User2, User3, User4

Contains "ON" is true for Montreal (User1), MONTREAL (User2), London (User 3), and Ontario (User4) as string and regex operations are not case sensitive.

Box 2: User1, User2, User3, User4

Box 1: VNET4 and VNET1 only

RG1 has only Delete lock, while there are no locks on RG4.

RG2 and RG3 both have Read-only locks.

Box 2: VNET4 only

There are no locks on RG4, while the other resource groups have either Delete or Read-only locks.

Note: As an administrator, you may need to lock a subscription, resource group, or resource to prevent other users in your organization from accidentally deleting or modifying critical resources. You can set the lock level to CanNotDelete or ReadOnly. In the portal, the locks are called Delete and Read-only respectively.

CanNotDelete means authorized users can still read and modify a resource, but they can't delete the resource.

ReadOnly means authorized users can read a resource, but they can't delete or update the resource. Applying this lock is similar to restricting all authorized users to the permissions granted by the Reader role.

Scenario:

User2 is a Security administrator.

Sub1 contains six resource groups named RG1, RG2, RG3, RG4, RG5, and RG6.

User2 creates the virtual networks shown in the following table.

Sub1 contains the locks shown in the following table.

Box 1: No. VM4 is in Subnet13 which has NSG3 attached to it.

VM1 is in ASG1. NSG3 would only allow ICMP pings from ASG2 but not ASG1. Only TCP traffic is allowed from ASG1.

NSG3 has the inbound security rules shown in the following table.

Box 2: Yes.

VM2 is in ASG2. Any protocol is allowed from ASG2 so ICMP ping would be allowed.

Box3. VM1 is in ASG1. TCP traffic is allowed from ASG1 so VM1 could connect to the web server as connections to the web server would be on ports TCP 80 or TCP 443.

Box1: RG6 only as there is not option for RG5 & RG6 which it should be.

Box2: RG4 & RG6

Yes,

Yes

No

To start using PIM in your directory, you must first enable PIM.

1. Sign in to the Azure portal as a Global Administrator of your directory.

You must be a Global Administrator with an organizational account (for example, @yourdomain.com), not a Microsoft account (for example, @outlook.com), to enable PIM for a directory.

Scenario: Technical requirements include: Enable Azure AD Privileged Identity Management (PIM) for contoso.com
