Microsoft Azure Security Engineer Associate AZ-500 Practice Question
You manage an Azure subscription that hosts hundreds of Windows and Linux virtual machines. The security team wants vulnerability assessment information but insists that no additional agents or VM extensions be installed on the machines. You decide to use the agentless scanning capability provided by Microsoft Defender for Servers. Which Defender for Servers plan must you enable at the subscription level to meet this requirement?
Agentless vulnerability scanning for Azure virtual machines is available only when Microsoft Defender for Servers Plan 2 (or the Defender Cloud Security Posture Management plan) is enabled. Plan 1 integrates Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for EDR but still relies on agent-based vulnerability assessment; it does not provide the disk-snapshot-based, agent-free scanning feature. The free tier and the retired Azure Security Center Standard tier also lack this capability.
