A SOC analyst wants to use Microsoft Sentinel's User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) to identify a user who is performing suspicious actions, such as accessing a high number of resources outside of their normal pattern. What must be enabled for UEBA to function correctly in Microsoft Sentinel?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.
A
Best answer
Enable Microsoft Entra ID Identity Protection and ensure the Microsoft Sentinel workspace has UEBA enabled.
Correct. UEBA requires Microsoft Entra ID Identity Protection for baseline user behavior, and the Sentinel workspace must have the UEBA feature turned on.
B
Distractor review
Enable Microsoft Entra ID Audit Logs and Sign-in Logs streaming directly to the Sentinel workspace.
Incorrect. While those logs are necessary, UEBA specifically depends on Identity Protection's risk assessments for behavioral analysis.
C
Distractor review
Install the Microsoft 365 Defender connector and enable UEBA in Microsoft 365 Defender.
Incorrect. Microsoft 365 Defender's UEBA is separate; Sentinel's UEBA requires Microsoft Entra ID Identity Protection.
D
Distractor review
Deploy the Azure Sentinel UEBA solution from Content Hub and configure watchlists for user baselines.
Incorrect. There is no separate solution; UEBA is a built-in feature that requires Microsoft Entra ID Identity Protection to be active.
Common exam trap
Common exam trap: NAT rules depend on direction and matching traffic
NAT is not only about the public address. The inside/outside interface roles and the ACL or rule that matches traffic are just as important.
Technical deep dive
How to think about this question
NAT questions usually test address translation, overload/PAT behaviour, static mappings and whether the right traffic is being translated. Read the interface direction and address terms carefully.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
- PAT allows many inside hosts to share one public address using ports.
- Inside local and inside global describe the private and translated addresses.
- NAT ACLs identify traffic for translation, not always security filtering.
TExam Day Tips
- Identify inside and outside interfaces first.
- Check whether the scenario needs static NAT, dynamic NAT or PAT.
- Do not confuse NAT matching ACLs with normal packet-filtering intent.

Question 6
An organization uses Microsoft 365 Defender. A security analyst is investigating a malware incident on a user's device. The automated investigation and response (AIR) has already isolated the device from the network. The analyst now needs to collect a copy of a specific suspicious file from the device for further analysis. Which action should the analyst initiate from the device's entity page?
FAQ
Questions learners often ask
What does this SC-200 question test?
Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
What is the correct answer to this question?
The correct answer is: Enable Microsoft Entra ID Identity Protection and ensure the Microsoft Sentinel workspace has UEBA enabled. — UEBA in Microsoft Sentinel relies on Microsoft Entra ID Identity Protection to provide user risk data and behavioral baselines. The Sentinel workspace must have UEBA enabled, but the underlying data comes from Microsoft Entra ID Identity Protection (which must be enabled). Without Identity Protection, UEBA cannot analyze user behavior effectively. Enabling auditing in Microsoft Entra ID or using Log Analytics alone is insufficient, and Microsoft 365 Defender is not required for Sentinel's UEBA.
