Microsoft Cybersecurity Architect — Question 3

You have a customer that has a Microsoft 365 subscription and uses the Free edition of Azure Active Directory (Azure AD).
The customer plans to obtain an Azure subscription and provision several Azure resources.
You need to evaluate the customer's security environment.
What will necessitate an upgrade from the Azure AD Free edition to the Premium edition?

Answer options

• A. Azure AD Privileged Identity Management (PIM)
• B. role-based authorization
• C. resource-based authorization
• D. Azure AD Multi-Factor Authentication

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as Azure AD Privileged Identity Management (PIM) is a feature that is only available in the Premium edition, providing enhanced management of privileged roles. Options B and C refer to authorization methods that do not require a Premium upgrade, while D, although important for security, is also available in the Free edition with some limitations.
