SC-100 Certification Practice Question #53

Question

You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription and an Azure subscription.
You need to evaluate the existing environment to increase the overall security posture for the following components:
✑ Windows 11 devices managed by Microsoft Intune
✑ Azure Storage accounts
✑ Azure virtual machines
What should you use to evaluate the components? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Hot Area:

Accepted Answer

Windows 11 endpoints managed by Intune are evaluated through Microsoft 365 Defender, which incorporates Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (the EDR/posture engine surfaced via the Intune Endpoint security dashboard). Azure virtual machines and Azure Storage accounts are evaluated by Microsoft Defender for Cloud — its CWPP plans cover servers and the Defender for Storage plan covers storage accounts. The overwhelmingly upvoted top comment (141 👍) and several corroborating comments are unanimous, and both MS Learn pages confirm the tool-to-resource mapping. Confidence is held at 90 (not higher) because no official Suggested Answer is printed and a small minority floated "Defender for Endpoint" wording for row 1, which is functionally the same selection under the Microsoft 365 Defender umbrella.
