Microsoft Cybersecurity Architect — Question 93

You have an Azure subscription. The subscription contains 200 virtual machines that run Windows Server 2022 and are protected by using Microsoft Defender for Servers Plan 1. You have an Amazon Web Services (AWS) subscription.

To the AWS subscription, you plan to deploy 100 virtual machines that run Windows Server 2022.

You need to recommend which agent to deploy to the virtual machines in the AWS subscription. The solution must meet the following requirements:

• Provide consistent workload protection across all cloud platforms.
• Minimize the number of agents deployed to each virtual machine.

What should you recommend?

Answer options

• A. the log Analytics agent
• B. the Azure Connected Machine agent
• C. the Microsoft Defender for Endpoint agent
• D. the Azure Monitor Agent

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Microsoft Defender for Endpoint agent is the correct choice because it offers unified protection across both Azure and AWS environments. The other agents either do not provide the necessary cross-platform protection or do not meet the requirement of minimizing agent deployment on the virtual machines.
