This SC-900 practice question tests your understanding of describe the capabilities of microsoft entra. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. 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.
Your organization is implementing Microsoft Entra Internet Access (formerly Microsoft Entra Internet Access). You need to secure access to public internet apps by enforcing traffic routing through Microsoft's network. Which feature should you enable?
Conditional Access
Why wrong: Conditional Access does not route traffic.
Global Secure Access
Global Secure Access routes traffic through Microsoft's security perimeter.
DDoS protection
Why wrong: DDoS protection is for availability, not traffic routing.
Network segmentation
Why wrong: Network segmentation is a general concept, not a specific feature.
Answer choices
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
Global Secure Access
Microsoft Entra Internet Access (part of Global Secure Access) routes traffic from users and devices through the Microsoft network to enforce security policies for public internet apps. Enabling Global Secure Access allows you to configure traffic forwarding profiles that redirect internet-bound traffic through Microsoft Entra Internet Access, ensuring consistent policy enforcement and threat protection.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Answer analysis
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
Conditional Access
Why it's wrong here
Conditional Access does not route traffic.
Global Secure Access

DDoS protection
Why it's wrong here
DDoS protection is for availability, not traffic routing.
Network segmentation
Why it's wrong here
Network segmentation is a general concept, not a specific feature.
Common exam traps
The trap here is that candidates often confuse Conditional Access (an identity-based policy tool) with network-level traffic routing, not realizing that Global Secure Access is the specific feature designed to enforce traffic routing through Microsoft's network for internet-bound apps.
Detailed technical explanation
Global Secure Access uses a lightweight client or network tunnel (e.g., IPsec or TLS) to forward traffic to Microsoft's cloud-based security service edge, where policies like web filtering, threat protection, and data loss prevention are applied. Under the hood, it leverages Microsoft's global network backbone to inspect traffic inline, reducing latency compared to backhauling through a traditional VPN. In a real-world scenario, a remote user accessing a SaaS app like Salesforce would have their traffic routed through Microsoft's network for consistent security regardless of location.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
A company's IT admin needs to give a contractor read-only access to production logs without sharing account credentials. Using role-based access control (RBAC) and temporary scoped permissions — not a permanent shared password — is the correct pattern. Questions like this test whether you can apply least-privilege access across cloud identity services.
