Microsoft Azure Security Engineer Associate AZ-500 Practice Question
You manage an Azure subscription that has Microsoft Defender for Servers Plan 2 enabled. You need to ensure that all existing and future virtual machines in the subscription are scanned for software vulnerabilities without deploying or maintaining any agents inside the guest OS.
Which action should you perform in Microsoft Defender for Cloud to meet this requirement?
Enable Adaptive Network Hardening under Security Center settings for the subscription.
Enable the Agentless scanning option under Environment settings for the subscription.
Deploy the Qualys extension to all virtual machines by using a built-in Defender for Cloud policy assignment.
Onboard the machines to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint by using the Azure Arc extension.
Agentless vulnerability assessment for Azure virtual machines is available when Microsoft Defender for Servers Plan 2 is enabled. To turn on the capability for both existing and future machines, you must enable the dedicated Agentless scanning setting at the subscription level by navigating to Microsoft Defender for Cloud → Environment settings → your subscription → Servers → Agentless scanning. Deploying the Qualys extension installs an agent inside the guest, which you want to avoid. Onboarding to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint or enabling Adaptive Network Hardening does not configure agentless vulnerability scanning.
