For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Correct Answer:

Explanation:
Statement
Answer
User2 can connect to https://10.20.30.40.
No
User3 can connect to https://intranet.corp.contoso.com.
Yes
User1 can connect to https://intranet.corp.contoso.com:8443.
No
Microsoft Entra Private Access applies access at the application-segment level , and an application segment is defined by attributes including the destination FQDN or IP address and the destination port . Users must be assigned to the corresponding enterprise application to access its defined segments. Microsoft specifically documents that Private Access supports precise per-app segmentation using FQDNs, IP addresses, ports, and user/group assignments.
User2 = No. User2 is assigned only to App2, which permits 10.20.30.40 on port 8443 . https://10.20.30.40 without an explicit port uses HTTPS default TCP 443 , so it does not match App2 ' s segment.
User3 = Yes. User3 is assigned to App1, whose wildcard FQDN *.corp.contoso.com on port 443 matches intranet.corp.contoso.com. Microsoft supports wildcard FQDN segments such as *.contoso.com with explicitly configured ports.
User1 = No. Although intranet.corp.contoso.com matches App1 ' s wildcard FQDN, User1 is authorized only for port 443 . Specifying :8443 causes the connection to fall outside App1 ' s configured segment.
You have an Azure subscription named Sub1 that contains a storage account named storage1. Sub1 has Microsoft Defender for Storage enabled. Defender for Storage has malware scanning enabled.
You need to configure a solution that automates the remediation of malware detected in storage1.
What should you include in the solution?
- A. Azure Policy
- B. Application Insights
- C. Azure Event Grid
- D. Azure Event Hubs
