Microsoft Azure Security Engineer Associate AZ-500 Practice Question
You need to enable agentless vulnerability scanning for a fleet of Azure virtual machines running on managed disks. The security team requires that no guest agents be installed and that scanning results be sent to Microsoft Defender for Cloud. Which prerequisite must be in place before you can turn on agentless scanning at the subscription level?
The disks of the virtual machines must be encrypted with customer-managed keys.
A Qualys vulnerability assessment extension must be deployed to each virtual machine.
Microsoft Defender for Servers Plan 2 must be enabled for the subscription.
Each virtual machine must have a SecurityBaseline tag with the value 'Agentless'.
Agentless scanning for Azure VMs is only available when Microsoft Defender for Servers Plan 2 is enabled for the subscription. Plan 2 activates the necessary cloud-native vulnerability assessment capability, which then scans managed disks without installing an agent. Other items listed may relate to additional features (e.g., Qualys extension), encryption settings, or optional tagging, but they are not required to turn on the agentless scanner.
