HOTSPOT -
Which virtual networks in Sub1 can User2 modify and delete in their current state? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:
Answer : 
Explanation:
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.

You have an Azure subscription named Sub1 that contains an Azure Log Analytics workspace named LAW1.
You have 100 on-premises servers that run Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2016. The servers connect to LAW1. LAW1 is configured to collect security-related performance counters from the connected servers.
You need to configure alerts based on the data collected by LAW1. The solution must meet the following requirements:
-> Alert rules must support dimensions.
-> The time it takes to generate an alert must be minimized.
-> Alert notifications must be generated only once when the alert is generated and once when the alert is resolved.
Which signal type should you use when you create the alert rules?
- A. Log
- B. Log (Saved Query)
- C. Metric
- D. Activity Log
Answer : C
Explanation:
Metric alerts in Azure Monitor provide a way to get notified when one of your metrics cross a threshold. Metric alerts work on a range of multi-dimensional platform metrics, custom metrics, Application Insights standard and custom metrics.
Note: Signals are emitted by the target resource and can be of several types. Metric, Activity log, Application Insights, and Log.

Answer : 
Explanation:
Box1: Activity log -
Azure activity logs provide insight into the operations that were performed on resources in your subscription. Activity logs were previously known as “audit logs†or “operational logs,†because they report control-plane events for your subscriptions.
Activity logs help you determine the “what, who, and when†for write operations (that is, PUT, POST, or DELETE).
Box 2: Logs -
Log Integration collects Azure diagnostics from your Windows virtual machines, Azure activity logs, Azure Security Center alerts, and Azure resource provider logs. This integration provides a unified dashboard for all your assets, whether they're on-premises or in the cloud, so that you can aggregate, correlate, analyze, and alert for security events.

HOTSPOT -
You create an alert rule that has the following settings:
-> Resource: RG1
-> Condition: All Administrative operations
Actions: Action groups configured for this alert rule: ActionGroup1
-> Alert rule name: Alert1
You create an action rule that has the following settings:
-> Scope: VM1
-> Filter criteria: Resource Type = "Virtual Machines"
-> Define on this scope: Suppression
-> Suppression config: From now (always)
-> Name: ActionRule1
For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
Note: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:
Answer : 
Explanation:
Box 1:
The scope for the action rule is set to VM1 and is set to suppress alerts indefinitely.
Box 2:
The scope for the action rule is not set to VM2.

You have an Azure subscription named Sub1 that contains the virtual machines shown in the following table.
You need to ensure that the virtual machines in RG1 have the Remote Desktop port closed until an authorized user requests access.
What should you configure?
- A. Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Privileged Identity Management (PIM)
- B. an application security group
- C. Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) conditional access
- D. just in time (JIT) VM access
Answer : D
Explanation:
Just-in-time (JIT) virtual machine (VM) access can be used to lock down inbound traffic to your Azure VMs, reducing exposure to attacks while providing easy access to connect to VMs when needed.
Note: When just-in-time is enabled, Security Center locks down inbound traffic to your Azure VMs by creating an NSG rule. You select the ports on the VM to which inbound traffic will be locked down. These ports are controlled by the just-in-time solution.
When a user requests access to a VM, Security Center checks that the user has Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) permissions that permit them to successfully request access to a VM. If the request is approved, Security Center automatically configures the Network Security Groups (NSGs) and Azure Firewall to allow inbound traffic to the selected ports and requested source IP addresses or ranges, for the amount of time that was specified. After the time has expired, Security
Center restores the NSGs to their previous states. Those connections that are already established are not being interrupted, however.

You have 10 virtual machines on a single subnet that has a single network security group (NSG).
You need to log the network traffic to an Azure Storage account.
Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
- A. Install the Network Performance Monitor solution.
- B. Enable Azure Network Watcher.
- C. Enable diagnostic logging for the NSG.
- D. Enable NSG flow logs.
- E. Create an Azure Log Analytics workspace.
Answer : BD
Explanation:
A network security group (NSG) enables you to filter inbound traffic to, and outbound traffic from, a virtual machine (VM). You can log network traffic that flows through an NSG with Network Watcher's NSG flow log capability. Steps include:
-> Create a VM with a network security group
-> Enable Network Watcher and register the Microsoft.Insights provider
-> Enable a traffic flow log for an NSG, using Network Watcher's NSG flow log capability
-> Download logged data
-> View logged data

- B. VM1 and VM3 only
- C. VM3 and VM4 only
- D. VM1, VM2, VM3, and VM4
Answer : D
Explanation:
When automatic provisioning is On, Security Center provisions the Log Analytics Agent on all supported Azure VMs and any new ones that are created.
