Microsoft Security Operations Analyst Associate SC-200 Practice Question
While triaging an incident in the Microsoft Defender portal, you open the compromised user page for an Azure AD (Microsoft Entra ID) account that is flagged with high user risk. You must immediately stop any future authentication attempts from this account while the investigation continues. Which action should you take from the portal to achieve this?
Confirm user compromised
Require the user to reset their password at next sign-in
Revoke the user's refresh tokens to force sign-out
Choosing the Disable user (also called Block sign-in) action changes the account's Azure AD sign-in state to blocked. This prevents all interactive and non-interactive authentication attempts until you manually re-enable the account, fully containing the threat during investigation.
Confirm user compromised only labels the risk state and may trigger automated remediation policies, but it does not itself prevent sign-ins.
Revoking refresh tokens signs the user out of current sessions but still allows new authentications as long as the account is enabled.
Requiring a password reset forces the user to change credentials at the next logon, yet the account can still authenticate, so it does not guarantee immediate containment.
Therefore, disabling the user is the appropriate immediate containment step.
