Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals SC-900 Practice Question
Microsoft advises administrators to treat verified identity, rather than the corporate network, as the primary security perimeter. Which action aligns most directly with this approach when securing Azure AD?
Block all inbound TCP ports at the on-premises firewall
Disable unsupported operating systems on virtual machines
Encrypt all stored data by enabling Azure Storage Service Encryption
Require multi-factor authentication for all user sign-ins
When identity is the main security boundary, controls that strengthen the proof of a user's identity provide the biggest protection. Requiring multi-factor authentication (MFA) ensures that every sign-in is backed by at least two independent factors, making it far harder for attackers to compromise accounts. The other options focus on traditional network restrictions, operating-system hardening, or data encryption; while valuable, they do not specifically reinforce identity verification and therefore do not address the primary perimeter in this model.
