| Front | Back |
| How can tagging resources improve security governance? | Tags help with organizing, tracking, and implementing controls on resources. |
| How can you ensure secure communication in Azure? | Use HTTPS for web services and enable encryption for data transmission. |
| How can you limit exposure to Azure resources? | Place them in private subnets and use network isolation techniques. |
| How can you protect sensitive data in Azure storage accounts? | Enable Azure Storage encryption and use private endpoints. |
| How can you secure Azure virtual machines? | Enable endpoint protection and configure firewalls on VMs. |
| How does Azure Defender enhance security? | Azure Defender detects threats and provides automated responses to security incidents. |
| What are Azure Policies used for? | Azure Policies enforce compliance and resource governance across services. |
| What does logging and monitoring in Azure help achieve? | Provides insights into system activity for security analysis and incident response. |
| What is a recommended approach to managing Azure keys | certificates, and secrets?,Use Azure Key Vault for centralized storage and management. |
| What is Azure Secure Score? | A measurement of an organization's security posture with recommendations for improvement. |
| What is the primary purpose of Azure DDoS Protection? | To safeguard Azure resources from Distributed Denial-of-Service attacks. |
| What is the principle of least privilege in Azure? | Grant users only the access they need to perform their tasks while minimizing risks. |
| What is the purpose of Azure RBAC? | Azure Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) manages fine-grained access to resources. |
| What is the role of Network Security Groups (NSGs) in Azure? | NSGs help control network traffic to and from Azure resources. |
| What tool can be used for monitoring security vulnerabilities in Azure? | Azure Security Center helps monitor and remediate security gaps. |
| What tool should you use for secure remote access to Azure VMs? | Use Azure Bastion for secure and seamless remote connections. |
| Why is identity management critical for Azure security? | Effective identity management reduces the likelihood of unauthorized access. |
| Why is it critical to apply security patches promptly in Azure? | Timely patching mitigates known vulnerabilities and reduces security risks. |
| Why should you enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for users in Azure? | MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring more than just a password for user authentication. |
| Why should you routinely audit Azure permissions? | Regular audits ensure no excessive or outdated access permissions are present. |
