Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals SC-900 Practice Question
In Microsoft Defender for Cloud, you upgrade an Azure subscription from the free tier (providing only Cloud Security Posture Management) to the tier that includes enhanced security features for cloud workload protection. Which additional capability becomes available as a result of this upgrade?
Just-in-Time access that temporarily opens inbound ports to Azure virtual machines on approved request
Secure Score assessments that show prioritized security recommendations
Automatic protection by Azure DDoS Basic for all virtual networks
Built-in Azure Policy guest configuration definitions for virtual machines
The free tier of Microsoft Defender for Cloud focuses on Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM): continuous assessments, secure score, and basic security recommendations. When you enable the enhanced security features (by turning on the relevant Microsoft Defender plans), you also receive Cloud Workload Protection capabilities. One of the major additions is Just-in-Time (JIT) virtual machine access, which reduces the attack surface by opening inbound ports to a VM only when approved and for a limited time. Secure score remains available in the free tier, Azure Policy guest configuration is unrelated to Defender plan levels, and Azure DDoS Basic protection is automatically enabled for every Azure virtual network and is not tied to Defender for Cloud tiers.
