Microsoft Azure Security Engineer Associate AZ-500 Practice Question
Your company hosts 200 Azure SQL Databases in the same logical server, and additional databases are created weekly by an automation pipeline. The security team mandates that every database emit audit logs without any action from database administrators. Which action meets the requirement with the least administrative effort?
Deploy a SQL Server Audit object in each user database by using a T-SQL script.
Enable Azure SQL auditing at the server level for the logical server and send the logs to an Azure Storage account.
Enable database auditing only in the master database.
Enable Azure Monitor diagnostic settings for each database as they are created.
Enabling Azure SQL auditing at the server level automatically applies to every existing database on the logical server and to any database created in the future, so no additional configuration is needed. Auditing the master database alone does not cascade to user databases. Configuring Azure Monitor diagnostic settings or deploying SQL Server Audit objects per database would have to be repeated each time a new database is created, increasing administrative overhead. Therefore, server-level auditing is the correct and most efficient choice.
