Your organization uses Microsoft Entra ID with Privileged Identity Management (PIM) to manage roles. You need to ensure that when a user activates a role, the activation is automatically approved only if the user's manager approves within 30 minutes. If the manager does not respond, the activation is denied. What configuration should you implement?
2Your company uses Microsoft Entra ID and Microsoft Intune for mobile device management. You need to ensure that only devices that are compliant with your security policies can access Exchange Online. The solution must require users to reauthenticate every 12 hours. What should you configure?
3Your organization uses Microsoft Entra ID and has a hybrid identity with Microsoft Entra Connect. You need to ensure that all user password changes and resets are synchronized to the cloud within 30 minutes. Which TWO actions should you take? (Choose two.)
4You are designing a privileged access strategy for Microsoft Entra ID. Your organization requires that all users who are assigned to the Global Administrator role must perform a privileged elevation only when needed, and the elevation must be approved by a security officer. Which feature should you implement?
5Your organization uses Microsoft Entra ID for identity management. You need to ensure that users accessing sensitive data from unmanaged devices are required to use a compliant device. What should you configure?
6A company is implementing Privileged Identity Management (PIM) in Microsoft Entra ID for Azure resources. The security team wants to ensure that all privileged role activations require approval and are logged. They also want to require Azure MFA during activation. However, they notice that some users are able to activate roles without approval. What is the most likely cause?
7You are managing a Microsoft Entra ID tenant with external collaboration enabled. You need to restrict external user access to only the groups and applications they are explicitly granted. You also want to prevent external users from seeing other external users in the tenant directory. Which settings should you configure?
8You are the identity security engineer for a multinational company that uses Microsoft Entra ID. The company has recently experienced a security breach where an attacker compromised a non-administrator user account and then used that account to enumerate all users in the tenant. The attacker then attempted to brute-force passwords for high-privilege accounts. To prevent such attacks, management requires the following: - Users with administrative roles must use phishing-resistant MFA. - Any sign-in from a risky IP address must be blocked. - Users must not be able to enumerate directory information via the Graph API unless they have a specific role. - The solution should be implemented using built-in Microsoft Entra ID features. What should you configure?
