Question 1hardmultiple choice
Full question →hardmultiple choiceObjective-mapped
An analyst is investigating a data exfiltration incident. They suspect that a user downloaded sensitive files from a SharePoint site and then uploaded them to a non-corporate cloud storage service (e.g., Dropbox) using the same device. Which combination of Advanced Hunting tables should the analyst query to correlate the SharePoint download activity with network connections to external IPs?
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
CloudAppEvents and DeviceNetworkEvents
CloudAppEvents logs activities in cloud apps like SharePoint, including file downloads. DeviceNetworkEvents logs network connections from devices, which can show connections to external services. Joining on device and timestamp allows correlation.
B
Distractor review
EmailEvents and DeviceNetworkEvents
EmailEvents tracks email interactions, not SharePoint downloads. This would not capture the initial download activity.
C
Distractor review
DeviceFileEvents and DeviceNetworkEvents
DeviceFileEvents could show file operations, but it does not specify the source (SharePoint). The file download from SharePoint is an HTTP-based event, not a local file creation.
D
Distractor review
CloudAppEvents and IdentityLogonEvents
IdentityLogonEvents records logon events, not network connections. This would show authentication but not the actual data transfer to external IPs.
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: CloudAppEvents and DeviceNetworkEvents — CloudAppEvents captures activities in cloud applications such as SharePoint, including file downloads. DeviceNetworkEvents captures network connections from devices. By joining these tables on device ID and a time window, the analyst can link a SharePoint file download to subsequent outbound network connections to non-corporate IP addresses.
