SC-100 Certification Practice Question #55

Question

Your company has a multi-cloud environment that contains a Microsoft 365 subscription, an Azure subscription, and Amazon Web Services (AWS) implementation.
You need to recommend a security posture management solution for the following components:
✑ Azure IoT Edge devices

AWS EC2 instances -

Which services should you include in the recommendation? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Accepted Answer

The requirement is a **security posture management** solution. Microsoft Defender for IoT is purpose-built for IoT/OT and Azure IoT Edge devices and explicitly delivers security posture management (CIS-benchmark recommendations, OS/firewall/permission visibility), so it is the right pick for the IoT Edge row. For AWS EC2, posture management comes from Microsoft Defender for Cloud, but Defender for Servers only gains full visibility once the EC2 instances are connected to Azure Arc (the "EC2 instances should be connected to Azure Arc" recommendation) — hence "Microsoft Defender for Cloud and Azure Arc," not Arc alone or Defender for Endpoint (which is EDR, not posture management). Community consensus across the highest-voted comments matches both selections. Confidence is held at 90% because the file's Suggested Answer/choices block was not captured, leaving MS Learn and the heavily upvoted comments as the grounding.
