Microsoft Azure Security Engineer Associate AZ-500 Practice Question
You enable Microsoft Defender for Servers Plan 2 in Subscription1 so that all virtual machines are assessed by agentless scanning. Twenty-four hours later, one Ubuntu 20.04 LTS VM still shows No vulnerability data. The VM is located in West Europe, uses managed disks, and has the Encryption at host setting enabled. You must obtain vulnerability findings for this VM without deploying any agents. What should you do?
Move the virtual machine to the East US region.
Manually install the Log Analytics agent on the virtual machine.
Disable encryption at host for the virtual machine.
Agentless scanning in Microsoft Defender for Servers has strict prerequisites. The VM must be in a supported region, use managed disks, and must not have Encryption at host enabled. West Europe and managed disks already satisfy the prerequisites, but Encryption at host prevents the snapshot-based analysis that agentless scanning performs. Disabling Encryption at host allows Defender for Cloud to take snapshots of the disks, after which vulnerability assessment data will appear. Boot diagnostics is not required for scanning, changing regions is unnecessary because West Europe is supported, and manually installing the Log Analytics agent contradicts the requirement to avoid agents.
