Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals SC-900 Practice Question
A security administrator needs an at-a-glance numerical indicator in the Azure portal that reflects the overall security posture of all Azure subscriptions and offers prioritized recommendations to reduce risk. Which Microsoft Defender for Cloud capability should they use?
Secure score is the centralized metric that Microsoft Defender for Cloud calculates for every protected subscription and environment. The score is presented in the portal as a point value (for example, up to 60 points) that immediately shows how well current configurations and resources align with Microsoft security best practices. Alongside the score, Defender for Cloud provides prioritized remediation guidance so administrators can address high-impact issues and improve their posture. Attack path analysis highlights potential lateral-movement chains but is not a posture metric. Compliance Manager's regulatory score is part of Microsoft Purview/Microsoft 365, and Microsoft Sentinel's incidents dashboard focuses on detected threats rather than posture scoring and recommendations.
