Microsoft SC-200 Practice Test 14

Question 130

A controlled SOC test uses Aggregate incident metrics in a workbook with appropriate permission scoping. Which result validates the specified requirement: An executive workbook should use filtered incident severity without exposing raw sensitive entities?

  1. A daily aggregate table contains the expected per-source counts for a known sample.
  2. The authorized analyst opens the workbook and an unapproved account is denied.
  3. The dashboard shows severity trends without revealing unauthorized entity details.
  4. Closing or modifying a test incident does not delete the raw security events.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The dashboard shows severity trends without revealing unauthorized entity details. This is the result that most directly validates the selected action: Aggregate incident metrics in a workbook with appropriate permission scoping. It proves the requirement in the scenario rather than a related activity. This scenario concerns: An executive workbook should use filtered incident severity without exposing raw sensitive entities.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A daily per-source aggregate table verifies summarization of event counts. It does not establish that the severity-trend dashboard hides unauthorized entity details while showing the intended incident patterns.

B:

“The authorized analyst opens the workbook and an unapproved account is denied.” tests A dashboard owner wants to restrict access to sensitive incident visualizations. It does not demonstrate the target outcome of The dashboard shows severity trends without revealing unauthorized entity details. in the case described. This scenario concerns: An executive workbook should use filtered incident severity without exposing raw sensitive entities.

D:

“Closing or modifying a test incident does not delete the raw security events.” may be appropriate evidence for An analyst thinks deleting an incident removes the underlying raw evidence., but the verification of the current incident must instead show The dashboard shows severity trends without revealing unauthorized entity details. This scenario concerns: An executive workbook should use filtered incident severity without exposing raw sensitive entities.

Question 131

During a security operations change review, the requirement is: A cloud security team wants a controlled plan for Microsoft Sentinel portal transition. Select the action that fits best.

  1. Use built-in least-privilege Sentinel roles rather than granting subscription-level Owner.
  2. Review supported Sentinel in Defender portal experience, access and workflow dependencies before rollout.
  3. Create a Microsoft Sentinel workbook that queries the incident dataset and groups by owner.
  4. Plan analytics-tier and long-term retention separately to satisfy both workloads.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Review supported Sentinel in Defender portal experience, access and workflow dependencies before rollout. This directly addresses the stated need: A cloud security team wants a controlled plan for Microsoft Sentinel portal transition. Verification should demonstrate: A pilot investigator can access the required workspace incidents and workbooks in the target portal.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Using least-privilege Sentinel roles is good authorization hygiene, but it does not test compatibility, incident workflows and access dependencies in the planned Defender portal experience.

C:

This alternative, “Create a Microsoft Sentinel workbook that queries the incident dataset and groups by owner.”, is appropriate for Security leadership wants a weekly workbook chart of high-priority incidents by owner. It does not establish the required outcome of A pilot investigator can access the required workspace incidents and workbooks in the target portal. This scenario concerns: A cloud security team wants a controlled plan for Microsoft Sentinel portal transition.

D:

The proposed action “Plan analytics-tier and long-term retention separately to satisfy both workloads.” solves A team wants 30-day immediate queries while also retaining a longer historical trail. The present requirement is different: A cloud security team wants a controlled plan for Microsoft Sentinel portal transition.

Question 132

A reviewer must validate Review supported Sentinel in Defender portal experience, access and workflow dependencies before rollout. for this situation: A cloud security team wants a controlled plan for Microsoft Sentinel portal transition. Which evidence is the most relevant?

  1. The workbook displays the expected owner counts for sample incidents.
  2. Analysts see comparable rule-count trends over the selected windows.
  3. A pilot investigator can access the required workspace incidents and workbooks in the target portal.
  4. The analyst can review incidents but cannot modify data connectors or workspace settings.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

A pilot investigator can access the required workspace incidents and workbooks in the target portal. The observation tests the intended effect of Review supported Sentinel in Defender portal experience, access and workflow dependencies before rollout. and ties back to the original security operations requirement. This scenario concerns: A cloud security team wants a controlled plan for Microsoft Sentinel portal transition.

Incorrect Answers

A:

“The workbook displays the expected owner counts for sample incidents.” tests Security leadership wants a weekly workbook chart of high-priority incidents by owner. It does not demonstrate the target outcome of A pilot investigator can access the required workspace incidents and workbooks in the target portal. in the case described. This scenario concerns: A cloud security team wants a controlled plan for Microsoft Sentinel portal transition.

B:

This proposed result, “Analysts see comparable rule-count trends over the selected windows.”, relates to An operations dashboard needs to compare rule volume before and after tuning. It would not prove that Review supported Sentinel in Defender portal experience, access and workflow dependencies before rollout. met the current requirement. This scenario concerns: A cloud security team wants a controlled plan for Microsoft Sentinel portal transition.

D:

A reader role that blocks configuration changes can be correct even when workbooks fail to open in the new portal. The pilot must actually exercise incident and workbook access in that target interface.

Question 133

In an enterprise security review, the analyst is told: A SOC needs Windows Security Event ID 4625 from onboarded servers in Sentinel. Which supported approach should be selected?

  1. Choose a suitable DCR collection level or query-based event filter for Windows Security Events via AMA.
  2. Use an approved Logs Ingestion API and DCR-based custom log path where supported.
  3. Apply carefully scoped filtering in supported AMA data collection rules.
  4. Configure the Windows Security Events via AMA connector with an appropriate data collection rule.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Configure the Windows Security Events via AMA connector with an appropriate data collection rule. The approach acts on the required investigation or control, not merely on adjacent telemetry. The expected evidence is: A controlled failed sign-in event becomes available in the expected security-event table. This scenario concerns: A SOC needs Windows Security Event ID 4625 from onboarded servers in Sentinel.

Incorrect Answers

A:

“Choose a suitable DCR collection level or query-based event filter for Windows Security Events via AMA.” would prioritize A detection only requires selected Windows security events, not every audit record. That does not directly address the stated issue: A SOC needs Windows Security Event ID 4625 from onboarded servers in Sentinel.

B:

This alternative, “Use an approved Logs Ingestion API and DCR-based custom log path where supported.”, is appropriate for A cloud application uses HTTPS to push audit events to a custom ingestion endpoint. It does not establish the required outcome of A controlled failed sign-in event becomes available in the expected security-event table. This scenario concerns: A SOC needs Windows Security Event ID 4625 from onboarded servers in Sentinel.

C:

The proposed action “Apply carefully scoped filtering in supported AMA data collection rules.” solves A security team wants to ingest only critical Windows events from a noisy fleet. The present requirement is different: A SOC needs Windows Security Event ID 4625 from onboarded servers in Sentinel.

Question 134

The analyst needs an objective success signal after Configure the Windows Security Events via AMA connector with an appropriate data collection rule. for "A SOC needs Windows Security Event ID 4625 from onboarded servers in Sentinel.". Which evidence is the best fit?

  1. Forwarded events from two sample sources are visible with their original computer metadata.
  2. A known Defender incident or alert is represented in the expected unified incident experience.
  3. A controlled failed sign-in event becomes available in the expected security-event table.
  4. A diagnostic event from the test resource reaches the intended workspace.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

A controlled failed sign-in event becomes available in the expected security-event table. This signal demonstrates whether the chosen intervention (Configure the Windows Security Events via AMA connector with an appropriate data collection rule.) achieved its defined purpose in this case. This scenario concerns: A SOC needs Windows Security Event ID 4625 from onboarded servers in Sentinel.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This proposed result, “Forwarded events from two sample sources are visible with their original computer metadata.”, relates to An organization forwards events from many domain controllers through one Windows Event Collector. It would not prove that Configure the Windows Security Events via AMA connector with an appropriate data collection rule. met the current requirement. This scenario concerns: A SOC needs Windows Security Event ID 4625 from onboarded servers in Sentinel.

B:

“A known Defender incident or alert is represented in the expected unified incident experience.” may be appropriate evidence for The SOC must onboard a supported Microsoft Defender source into Sentinel., but the verification of the current incident must instead show A controlled failed sign-in event becomes available in the expected security-event table. This scenario concerns: A SOC needs Windows Security Event ID 4625 from onboarded servers in Sentinel.

D:

A resource diagnostic event proves Azure resource telemetry reaches a workspace. It does not show a deliberately failed user sign-in is present in the expected Windows security-event table.

Question 135

During an authorized SOC review, the team observes: A new VM is not producing security events despite the connector being enabled. What should the analyst do first to meet this specific objective?

  1. Use an appropriate Azure Policy initiative or assignment to deploy required diagnostics at scale.
  2. Configure supported Azure resource diagnostic settings to the approved Log Analytics destination.
  3. Verify Azure Monitor Agent presence and the assigned data collection rule association.
  4. Choose a suitable DCR collection level or query-based event filter for Windows Security Events via AMA.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Verify Azure Monitor Agent presence and the assigned data collection rule association. This addresses A new VM is not producing security events despite the connector being enabled. A successful pilot would show: The VM reports healthy agent and the expected event arrives.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This alternative, “Use an appropriate Azure Policy initiative or assignment to deploy required diagnostics at scale.”, is appropriate for A new subscription is missing mandatory diagnostic settings for security logs. It does not establish the required outcome of The VM reports healthy agent and the expected event arrives. This scenario concerns: A new VM is not producing security events despite the connector being enabled.

B:

The proposed action “Configure supported Azure resource diagnostic settings to the approved Log Analytics destination.” solves A storage resource must send security diagnostics into Sentinel. The present requirement is different: A new VM is not producing security events despite the connector being enabled.

D:

Choosing a Windows Security Events DCR filter decides which event IDs are collected. It does not demonstrate the affected VM has the Azure Monitor Agent installed, healthy and associated with the intended DCR.

Question 136

After implementing Verify Azure Monitor Agent presence and the assigned data collection rule association, the SOC reviews the case: A new VM is not producing security events despite the connector being enabled. Which observation most directly verifies success?

  1. A pilot subscription reports compliant and its sample logs reach the target destination.
  2. The VM reports healthy agent and the expected event arrives.
  3. A known numeric test event can be queried as the intended numeric type.
  4. Collected events include the required IDs while unnecessary IDs are excluded.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The VM reports healthy agent and the expected event arrives. This evidence is specific to the problem, not simply a health check of a different security service. This scenario concerns: A new VM is not producing security events despite the connector being enabled.

Incorrect Answers

A:

“A pilot subscription reports compliant and its sample logs reach the target destination.” may be appropriate evidence for A new subscription is missing mandatory diagnostic settings for security logs., but the verification of the current incident must instead show The VM reports healthy agent and the expected event arrives. This scenario concerns: A new VM is not producing security events despite the connector being enabled.

C:

A numeric custom-log field query proves schema typing, not AMA agent connectivity. The required check includes both a healthy VM agent and arrival of its known security event.

D:

“Collected events include the required IDs while unnecessary IDs are excluded.” tests A detection only requires selected Windows security events, not every audit record. It does not demonstrate the target outcome of The VM reports healthy agent and the expected event arrives. in the case described. This scenario concerns: A new VM is not producing security events despite the connector being enabled.

Question 137

An incident runbook lists this unresolved issue: A detection only requires selected Windows security events, not every audit record. Which action directly addresses the issue?

  1. Configure the Windows Security Events via AMA connector with an appropriate data collection rule.
  2. Apply carefully scoped filtering in supported AMA data collection rules.
  3. Configure an approved threat intelligence connector or indicator ingestion path in Sentinel.
  4. Choose a suitable DCR collection level or query-based event filter for Windows Security Events via AMA.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Choose a suitable DCR collection level or query-based event filter for Windows Security Events via AMA. This action solves the actual operational problem. The acceptance test is: Collected events include the required IDs while unnecessary IDs are excluded. This scenario concerns: A detection only requires selected Windows security events, not every audit record.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The proposed action “Configure the Windows Security Events via AMA connector with an appropriate data collection rule.” solves A SOC needs Windows Security Event ID 4625 from onboarded servers in Sentinel. The present requirement is different: A detection only requires selected Windows security events, not every audit record.

B:

The option “Apply carefully scoped filtering in supported AMA data collection rules.” would address A security team wants to ingest only critical Windows events from a noisy fleet. It is less direct than Choose a suitable DCR collection level or query-based event filter for Windows Security Events via AMA. for the case at hand. This scenario concerns: A detection only requires selected Windows security events, not every audit record.

C:

Threat-intelligence connector configuration ingests IOCs, not Windows Security Event IDs. Select the Windows DCR collection/filter strategy to include the required audit IDs without collecting unrelated routine records.

Question 138

The SOC has acted by choosing Choose a suitable DCR collection level or query-based event filter for Windows Security Events via AMA. To verify the outcome for "A detection only requires selected Windows security events, not every audit record.", which result matters most?

  1. Every routine Windows Security Event continues to arrive, including the noisy event IDs that the data collection rule was supposed to exclude.
  2. A controlled syslog message becomes queryable after correction.
  3. Collected events include the required IDs while unnecessary IDs are excluded.
  4. The VM reports healthy agent and the expected event arrives.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Collected events include the required IDs while unnecessary IDs are excluded. It is the case-specific acceptance condition for the action Choose a suitable DCR collection level or query-based event filter for Windows Security Events via AMA. This scenario concerns: A detection only requires selected Windows security events, not every audit record.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Receiving all routine events does not verify the filtered Windows Security Event selection requested. The keyed outcome includes required IDs and excludes unnecessary IDs.

B:

Receiving a syslog message tests the syslog connector. It does not establish that Windows Security Events via AMA include the specified audit IDs while excluding unnecessary IDs.

D:

This proposed result, “The VM reports healthy agent and the expected event arrives.”, relates to A new VM is not producing security events despite the connector being enabled. It would not prove that Choose a suitable DCR collection level or query-based event filter for Windows Security Events via AMA. met the current requirement. This scenario concerns: A detection only requires selected Windows security events, not every audit record.

Question 139

A security incident owner is assigned this task: An organization forwards events from many domain controllers through one Windows Event Collector. What action best targets the stated need?

  1. Check the selected CEF connector, forwarding configuration and message format.
  2. Configure Windows Event Forwarding and the appropriate collection architecture for Sentinel.
  3. Review AMA service, syslog daemon forwarding and collector connectivity prerequisites.
  4. Choose a suitable DCR collection level or query-based event filter for Windows Security Events via AMA.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Configure Windows Event Forwarding and the appropriate collection architecture for Sentinel. It targets the specific constraint in the stem, and a successful outcome would be: Forwarded events from two sample sources are visible with their original computer metadata. This scenario concerns: An organization forwards events from many domain controllers through one Windows Event Collector.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The option “Check the selected CEF connector, forwarding configuration and message format.” would address A collector forwards CEF data but the event arrives as plain syslog. It is less direct than Configure Windows Event Forwarding and the appropriate collection architecture for Sentinel. for the case at hand. This scenario concerns: An organization forwards events from many domain controllers through one Windows Event Collector.

C:

“Review AMA service, syslog daemon forwarding and collector connectivity prerequisites.” would prioritize A newly onboarded Linux server lacks permissions to send events through its collector. That does not directly address the stated issue: An organization forwards events from many domain controllers through one Windows Event Collector.

D:

This alternative, “Choose a suitable DCR collection level or query-based event filter for Windows Security Events via AMA.”, is appropriate for A detection only requires selected Windows security events, not every audit record. It does not establish the required outcome of Forwarded events from two sample sources are visible with their original computer metadata. This scenario concerns: An organization forwards events from many domain controllers through one Windows Event Collector.

Question 140

The chosen approach is Configure Windows Event Forwarding and the appropriate collection architecture for Sentinel. Which observation proves its intended effect on this problem: An organization forwards events from many domain controllers through one Windows Event Collector?

  1. Parsed vendor and product fields are stable for controlled samples.
  2. Collected events include the required IDs while unnecessary IDs are excluded.
  3. Controlled events appear end to end without granting broad unrelated privileges.
  4. Forwarded events from two sample sources are visible with their original computer metadata.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Forwarded events from two sample sources are visible with their original computer metadata. This is the result that most directly validates the selected action: Configure Windows Event Forwarding and the appropriate collection architecture for Sentinel. It proves the requirement in the scenario rather than a related activity. This scenario concerns: An organization forwards events from many domain controllers through one Windows Event Collector.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Stable CEF vendor/product fields show parsing quality. The WEF test must preserve the original source-computer metadata for forwarded events from two separate hosts.

B:

“Collected events include the required IDs while unnecessary IDs are excluded.” tests A detection only requires selected Windows security events, not every audit record. It does not demonstrate the target outcome of Forwarded events from two sample sources are visible with their original computer metadata. in the case described. This scenario concerns: An organization forwards events from many domain controllers through one Windows Event Collector.

C:

This proposed result, “Controlled events appear end to end without granting broad unrelated privileges.”, relates to A newly onboarded Linux server lacks permissions to send events through its collector. It would not prove that Configure Windows Event Forwarding and the appropriate collection architecture for Sentinel. met the current requirement. This scenario concerns: An organization forwards events from many domain controllers through one Windows Event Collector.
