You are designing a network security strategy for a multi-tier application. The web tier must be accessible from the internet, but the application and database tiers must only be accessible from the web tier. Which Azure solution should you use to isolate the tiers?

An organization has deployed Azure Firewall and wants to inspect all outbound traffic from a virtual network (VNet) to the internet. The VNet already contains subnets with workloads. What is the required networking configuration to force traffic through Azure Firewall?

You need to allow inbound HTTP traffic from the internet to a specific VM in a VNet. The VM is in a subnet with an NSG. What is the correct way to configure access?

A company has an Azure virtual network with a subnet that contains virtual machines. They have deployed Azure Firewall in a hub VNet and peered the spoke VNet to the hub. They have configured a route table on the spoke subnet with a default route (0.0.0.0/0) pointing to the Azure Firewall's private IP as the next hop. However, traffic from the VMs is still going directly to the internet. What is the most likely cause?

Your organization uses Azure Virtual Network Manager (AVNM) to manage network groups. You need to ensure that all virtual networks in a network group are automatically peered with a hub VNet. Which AVNM configuration should you use?

A company uses Azure Front Door to accelerate and secure its public web application. The security team wants to limit the number of requests from a single client IP address to 100 per minute to prevent a single user from overwhelming the backend. Which configuration should they add to the Web Application Firewall (WAF) policy associated with the Front Door?

Your organization has a Microsoft Entra ID tenant and uses Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD). You need to ensure that AVD session hosts in a virtual network can access on-premises resources securely without exposing the session hosts to the internet. The on-premises network is connected to Azure via ExpressRoute. All AVD traffic should be routed through the ExpressRoute connection. You have already deployed a reverse connect transport for AVD. What else should you configure to meet the requirements?

Your company has deployed Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) in a virtual network. The AKS cluster needs to pull images from a private Azure Container Registry (ACR) that has a private endpoint configured. The virtual network where AKS is deployed is peered to the ACR's virtual network. You have configured the AKS cluster to use managed identity for authentication to ACR. However, the AKS cluster is unable to pull images from the ACR. You need to resolve the connectivity issue without exposing the ACR to the internet. What should you do?

A security team needs to analyze network traffic to and from Azure virtual machines to investigate a potential security incident. They want to capture information such as source IP, destination IP, port, and protocol. Which Azure service should they enable on the network security groups (NSGs) associated with the virtual machine subnets?

You are a security engineer at Contoso. The company has an Azure virtual network named VNet1 with a subnet named WebSubnet that hosts internet-facing Linux VMs. You need to restrict inbound traffic to WebSubnet so that only HTTP (TCP 80) and HTTPS (TCP 443) from the internet are allowed, and all other inbound traffic is denied. The VMs must remain reachable over SSH from a jump host in another subnet for management. What should you configure?

You are a security engineer for a company that uses Azure Virtual Networks and Azure Private Endpoints. You have a storage account with a private endpoint in VNet1. You need to ensure that all DNS queries for the storage account's private endpoint resolve to the private IP address from any virtual machine in VNet1. The virtual machines use the default Azure-provided DNS servers. What should you do?

Traffic from a spoke VNet must reach the internet through a firewall in the hub VNet. What routing configuration is required on the spoke subnets?

You are a security engineer at Fabrikam Inc. The company has an Azure subscription with a single virtual network (VNet1) that contains a production workload. The network is connected to an on-premises data center via a site-to-site VPN. The security team requires that all Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) and Secure Shell (SSH) access to virtual machines in VNet1 must be brokered through Azure Bastion. Additionally, the team wants to ensure that no public IP addresses are assigned to any virtual machines in the production environment. Currently, there are several VMs with public IPs. You need to implement the requirements with minimal downtime. The solution must also ensure that administrators can access the VMs using Azure Bastion without any additional client software. What should you do?

A company has several Azure virtual machines (VMs) in a VNet that host a legacy application. IT support staff need to perform remote administration using RDP. The security team wants to avoid exposing the VMs to the public internet and also enforce Azure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for all RDP sessions. Which Azure service should they deploy to meet these requirements?

You are designing a hub-spoke network topology in Azure. You need to ensure that all traffic between spokes is inspected by a network virtual appliance (NVA) deployed in the hub. What should you configure?

Your company uses Azure Virtual WAN with a secured virtual hub (Azure Firewall). You have branch offices connected via ExpressRoute. You need to ensure that traffic from a branch to a VNet in the same region is inspected by the firewall. You configure the default route (0.0.0.0/0) advertisement from the hub to the branch, but the traffic is not being inspected. What is the most likely reason?

You are reviewing an NSG rule as shown in the exhibit. This rule is applied to a subnet containing web servers. What is the security implication of this rule?

A public web application should be protected from OWASP-style attacks and network-layer DDoS attacks. Which two Azure services are most relevant?

A company has multiple on-premises web applications that need to be securely published for remote employees. The company uses Azure AD for identity management and wants to apply Conditional Access policies, including multi-factor authentication, to these applications. The security team wants to avoid exposing the on-premises infrastructure to the internet directly. Which Azure service should they deploy to meet these requirements?
