Microsoft Azure Security Engineer Associate AZ-500 Practice Question
You enabled Microsoft Defender for Servers Plan 2 on an Azure subscription that contains several virtual machines (VMs). You must now turn on agentless vulnerability assessment for the VMs. The solution must succeed without installing any additional extensions or agents.
Which prerequisite must each VM meet before agentless scanning can be successfully enabled?
The VM must use Azure managed disks for all attached disks.
The Log Analytics agent must already be installed on the VM.
Azure Disk Encryption must be enabled on the OS disk.
The VM must be tagged with DefenderForServers-Scan=Enabled.
Agentless vulnerability assessment in Microsoft Defender for Servers Plan 2 works by creating secure snapshots of the disks that back a VM. The capability is supported only for VMs that use Azure managed disks, because snapshots can be taken only from managed disks. VMs that rely on unmanaged disks or that have ephemeral OS disks are skipped automatically. Consequently, a VM must be configured with managed disks for agentless vulnerability assessment to run.
