Microsoft Cybersecurity Architect — Question 11

For a Microsoft cloud environment, you are designing a security architecture based on the Microsoft Cloud Security Benchmark.

What are three best practices for identity management based on the Azure Security Benchmark? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.

NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Answer options

• A. Manage application identities securely and automatically.
• B. Manage the lifecycle of identities and entitlements.
• C. Protect identity and authentication systems.
• D. Enable threat detection for identity and access management.
• E. Use a centralized identity and authentication system.

Correct answer: A, C, E

Explanation

The correct answers A, C, and E focus on key aspects of identity management such as securing application identities, protecting authentication systems, and using a centralized approach for identity management. Option B, while important, is not one of the top three practices outlined in the benchmark. Option D relates to threat detection but does not directly address identity management best practices.
