AI-102 Plan and manage an Azure AI solution Practice Question
You are a security engineer for a financial services company. The company uses Azure AI Language to analyze customer communications for compliance. The solution processes sensitive personal data. You need to ensure that all data transmitted to the Azure AI Language service is encrypted in transit and that the service endpoint is not accessible from the public internet. Additionally, you must use Microsoft Entra ID for authentication. The current implementation uses API keys and the public endpoint. You need to reconfigure the solution. What should you do?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers think disabling public network access alone is sufficient (Option B), but without a private endpoint, the service becomes unreachable, and they may overlook that managed identity is required to replace API keys for Microsoft Entra ID authentication.

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Disable the public network access, configure a private endpoint, enable managed identity, and enforce HTTPS
It addresses all three requirements: disabling public network access removes internet exposure, configuring a private endpoint ensures traffic stays within the Azure backbone and your virtual network, enabling managed identity allows Microsoft Entra ID authentication without API keys, and enforcing HTTPS guarantees encryption in transit via TLS. This combination fully secures the Azure AI Language service for sensitive personal data.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Configure a private endpoint and continue using the public endpoint for redundancy
Why it's wrong here
Redundancy not needed; public endpoint exposure is a risk.
- ✗
Disable the public network access without configuring a private endpoint
Why it's wrong here
Service becomes inaccessible.
- ✗
Enable Microsoft Entra ID authentication but keep the public endpoint and API keys
Why it's wrong here
API keys still allowed; public endpoint remains.
- ✓
Disable the public network access, configure a private endpoint, enable managed identity, and enforce HTTPS
Why this is correct
Meets all security requirements.
