Microsoft Azure Security Engineer Associate AZ-500 Practice Question
You manage an Azure subscription that contains several Linux and Windows virtual machines. You want to discover operating-system and software vulnerabilities on these machines without installing any agents inside the guest operating systems. You plan to enable agentless scanning in Microsoft Defender for Cloud. Which prerequisite must be satisfied before you can turn on the agentless scanning feature for these virtual machines?
Each virtual machine is configured with a system-assigned managed identity.
The virtual machines reside in a virtual network that has Microsoft Defender for Cloud network detection enabled.
Every virtual machine has the Azure Monitor agent installed.
The subscription is onboarded to Microsoft Defender for Servers Plan 2.
Agentless scanning is available only in environments that are protected by Microsoft Defender for Servers Plan 2 (or Defender CSPM). When the subscription is covered by this plan, Microsoft Defender for Cloud can create read-only snapshots of the VMs' managed disks and analyze them for vulnerabilities, eliminating the need for guest agents. The Azure Monitor agent, network detection settings, or a system-assigned managed identity on each VM are not required for agentless scanning to work; therefore, those options do not meet the prerequisite.
