Microsoft Azure Security Engineer Associate AZ-500 Practice Question

You manage an Azure subscription's security posture in Microsoft Defender for Cloud. The recommendation "Enable Azure Disk Encryption on your virtual machines" can contribute a maximum of 6 points to the Secure Score. The subscription contains 20 virtual machines, all initially reported as Unhealthy for this recommendation. After you encrypt 12 of the 20 virtual machines, how many Secure Score points does the recommendation contribute?

  • 4 points, because Defender for Cloud rounds 3.6 up to the nearest whole point.

  • 0 points, because the recommendation grants no score until every virtual machine is encrypted.

  • The full 6 points, because at least 60 percent of the virtual machines are now healthy.

  • 3.6 points, because Defender for Cloud assigns points proportionally based on the percentage of healthy resources.
