MS-102 Timed Practice Test 4 — 10 Questions

Question 1

A security administrator wants to configure Automated Investigation and Response (AIR) in Microsoft 365 Defender to automatically isolate a device when a high-severity alert for malware is detected. Which step is required?

Accepted Answer

C: Configure the device to be part of a device group and enable automation level.. To enable Automated Investigation and Response (AIR) in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, the device must be added to a device group, and the automation level for that group must be set to 'Full – remediate threats automatically' or a similar level. This configuration allows Defender to automatically isolate a device when a high-severity malware alert is triggered, as part of the built-in AIR playbooks.

Answer

A: Create an automation rule in Microsoft Sentinel.

Answer

B: Create a custom detection rule in advanced hunting.

Answer

D: Enable auto-removal of malware from devices.

Question 2

A security administrator wants to ensure that all email attachments are scanned in a sandbox environment and blocked if malicious, with email delivery delayed until scanning completes. Which Microsoft 365 Defender policy should the administrator configure?

Accepted Answer

Safe Attachments policy. Safe Attachments policy is the correct choice because it specifically provides time-of-delivery scanning of email attachments in a virtual sandbox environment. When configured with the 'Dynamic Delivery' action, the email body is delivered immediately while the attachment is held and scanned; if the attachment is found malicious, it is blocked and the user is notified. This directly meets the requirement to delay email delivery until scanning completes and block malicious attachments.

Answer

Safe Links policy

Answer

Anti-spam policy

Answer

Anti-phishing policy

Question 3

Administrators want to enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all users when accessing cloud applications from untrusted networks. They plan to use Azure AD Conditional Access with named locations. Which two components must be configured to meet this requirement? (Select two.)

Accepted Answer

named location for the corporate network. Option B is correct because named locations in Azure AD Conditional Access allow administrators to define trusted network boundaries, such as the corporate network's public IP range. By marking this named location as a trusted location, the Conditional Access policy can then require MFA when users access cloud applications from any network that is not the corporate network, effectively enforcing MFA from untrusted networks.

Answer

location policy

Answer

Conditional Access policy targeting MFA registration

Question 4

A security analyst wants to automatically create a Microsoft Teams message in a dedicated security channel whenever a Microsoft 365 Defender incident with severity 'High' is created. Which automation approach should the analyst use?

Accepted Answer

Power Automate. Power Automate is the correct choice because it provides a no-code/low-code workflow that can be triggered by Microsoft 365 Defender's 'When an incident is created or updated' connector, filter for severity 'High', and then post a message to a dedicated Teams channel via the 'Post a message in a chat or channel' action. This directly meets the requirement for automatic, event-driven notification without custom code.

Question 5

A compliance officer needs to block users from sharing emails that contain credit card numbers with external recipients. When a user attempts to send such an email, it should be blocked immediately, and a policy tip should notify the user. Which Microsoft Purview solution should the officer configure?

Accepted Answer

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy.. A Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy is the correct solution because it is specifically designed to detect sensitive information types (e.g., credit card numbers via predefined rule patterns matching the Luhn algorithm) in transit and enforce actions such as blocking the email and displaying a policy tip to the sender. This meets the compliance officer's requirement to block external sharing of credit card data immediately with user notification.

Answer

Sensitivity label with encryption.

Answer

Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Safe Attachments policy.

Answer

Communication compliance policy.

Question 6

An administrator has configured group-based licensing in Azure AD. After adding users to the group, some users do not receive licenses. The users are in the group and have an assigned usage location. What is a possible reason?

Accepted Answer

The users have conflicting license assignments from another source. Option C is correct because group-based licensing in Azure AD can fail when a user already has a license assigned from another source, such as direct assignment or another group. Azure AD's group-based licensing processes assignments in a deterministic order, and if a conflict arises (e.g., different service plans or SKUs), the system may skip the user and log an error in the audit logs. This is a common scenario when users are migrated from direct licensing to group-based licensing without removing the existing assignments.

Answer

The group is a mail-enabled security group, which is not supported for group-based licensing

Answer

The license product name in the group setting does not match the available licenses in the tenant

Answer

The users have not accepted the Microsoft Online Service Terms

Question 7

A security administrator notices that users are receiving phishing emails that evade built-in anti-spam filters. The administrator wants to enable users to report these suspicious emails from Outlook and have them automatically trigger an investigation and block the sender. Which feature should be configured in Microsoft Defender for Office 365?

Accepted Answer

User reported settings in the Microsoft 365 Defender portal. User reported settings in the Microsoft 365 Defender portal allow administrators to configure how user-reported messages are handled. When enabled, users can report suspicious emails directly from Outlook, and these reports can automatically trigger an investigation and block the sender via automated investigation and response (AIR) policies. This directly addresses the requirement to have user-reported emails initiate security actions.

Question 8

A security administrator wants to reduce the risk of credential dumping from LSASS on managed Windows endpoints. Which Attack Surface Reduction rule should be enabled?

Accepted Answer

Block credential stealing from the Windows Local Security Authority Subsystem. Option A is correct because the 'Block credential stealing from the Windows Local Security Authority Subsystem' ASR rule (GUID: 9e6c4e1f-7d60-472f-ba1a-a39ef669e4b2) specifically prevents credential dumping from LSASS by blocking access to the process memory via common techniques like Mimikatz or direct API calls (e.g., OpenProcess, ReadProcessMemory). This directly reduces the risk of credential theft on managed Windows endpoints.

Answer

Block executable files from running unless they meet prevalence, age, or trusted list criteria

Answer

Block untrusted and unsigned processes that run from USB

Answer

Block JavaScript or VBScript from launching downloaded executable content

Question 9

A company wants to require that all users accessing a critical internal application must be on a compliant device (managed by Intune) and must have authenticated with multi-factor authentication in the last 30 minutes. Which Conditional Access configurations are needed?

Accepted Answer

Grant control 'Require multi-factor authentication' and 'Require device to be marked as compliant' with session control 'Sign-in frequency' set to 30 minutes. Option A is correct because it combines the required grant controls ('Require multi-factor authentication' and 'Require device to be marked as compliant') with the session control 'Sign-in frequency' set to 30 minutes. The sign-in frequency session control enforces reauthentication after the specified time window, ensuring MFA was performed within the last 30 minutes. The grant controls ensure both MFA and device compliance are satisfied simultaneously.

Answer

Grant control 'Require multi-factor authentication' and 'Require device to be marked as compliant' and 'Require all the selected controls'

Answer

Grant control 'Require multi-factor authentication' and 'Require hybrid Azure AD joined device' with session control 'App enforced restrictions'

Answer

Grant control 'Block access' for non-compliant devices and separate policy for MFA

Question 10

A security administrator needs to discover which cloud apps are being used in the organization and then block usage of unsanctioned apps in real time using a reverse proxy. Which two Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps features must be configured to meet these requirements? (Select all that apply.)

Accepted Answer

Cloud Discovery. Cloud Discovery (A) is correct because it analyzes traffic logs from your network to identify all cloud apps in use, providing visibility into sanctioned and unsanctioned apps. Conditional Access App Control (C) is correct because it enforces real-time access controls via a reverse proxy, allowing you to block unsanctioned apps as users attempt to access them.

Answer

App Connectors

Answer

API connectors
