- A
Azure Active Directory
Why wrong: Old name; now Microsoft Entra ID.
- B
Microsoft Defender for Cloud
Why wrong: Not a data source, a security solution.
- C
Amazon Web Services
Why wrong: Not a Microsoft 365 service.
- D
Microsoft Entra ID
Ingests sign-in and audit logs.
- E
Office 365
Ingests Exchange, SharePoint, Teams logs.
Quick Answer
The answer is Office 365 and Microsoft Entra ID. These two data connectors are native to Microsoft Sentinel, meaning they are pre-built and require no additional licensing or complex configuration to ingest data from Microsoft 365 services. The Office 365 connector pulls in audit logs from Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, and Teams, while the Microsoft Entra ID connector (formerly Azure Active Directory) ingests sign-in logs, audit logs, and provisioning events. On the SC-200 exam, this question tests your understanding of which connectors are automatically available versus those that require third-party setup, such as Amazon Web Services. A common trap is confusing the old name “Azure Active Directory” with the current “Microsoft Entra ID,” or selecting Microsoft Defender for Cloud, which is a separate security solution, not a data connector. To remember, think of the two core identity and productivity pillars: Entra ID for identity, Office 365 for collaboration.
SC-200 Manage a security operations environment Practice Question
This SC-200 practice question tests your understanding of manage a security operations environment. Match the stated requirement to the specific cloud service, access model, or configuration option — many options are valid in isolation but not for this scenario. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
Which TWO data connectors are available in Microsoft Sentinel to ingest data from Microsoft 365 services?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
Microsoft Entra ID
Office 365 and Microsoft Entra ID connectors are native to Sentinel. Amazon Web Services is for AWS, Azure Active Directory is the old name, and Microsoft Defender for Cloud is a separate product.
Key principle: NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated.

Related concept
Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
Common exam traps
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.
Detailed technical explanation
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.
Key takeaway
NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A cloud solutions architect for a retail company is evaluating services for a new workload. The correct answer here reflects best practice for the specific scenario described — not a general cloud recommendation. NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.
What to study next
Got this wrong? Here's your next step.
Review the four NAT address types (inside local, inside global, outside local, outside global), PAT port overload, and static vs dynamic NAT use cases. Then practise related SC-200 NAT questions on configuration and troubleshooting.
