Microsoft Azure Security Engineer Associate AZ-500 Practice Question
Microsoft Defender for Cloud assigns each security control a fixed maximum number of points. The score for a control is calculated as (healthy ÷ total) × maximum points.
Current status for two controls:
Enable MFA
Maximum points: 10
Healthy resources: 0
Unhealthy resources: 10
Backup virtual machines
Maximum points: 10
Healthy resources: 0
Unhealthy resources: 40
You want the greatest Secure Score increase while touching the fewest resources. Which control should you remediate first?
Enable MFA on the 10 unhealthy resources.
Suppress the Enable MFA control.
Configure backup on the 40 non-compliant virtual machines.
Exempt the virtual machines from the backup control.
If you enable MFA on the 10 unhealthy identities, the control moves from 0 to 10 points-a 10-point Secure Score gain for 10 remediation tasks.
Remediating all 40 virtual machines would also add 10 points, but requires changing 40 resources. Because both actions yield the same score boost, the MFA control achieves that gain with far less effort.
Suppressing or exempting recommendations does not raise Secure Score; it only removes the items from the calculation.
