Question

You work for a company as an Azure administrator. There is a third party email scanning system used by the organization. The system scans email every time an email is sent to or received by Microsoft Office 365. The solution supports single sign-on (SSO) and has advanced mail scanning, reporting, and quarantine features. There is a recipient verification feature in the third- party email scanning system. A non-interactive Azure enterprise app is used to connect that feature to the tenant directory. The application verifies the sending email address before allowing the email to be sent. You are required to know what configurations are set regarding the permissions on the Azure enterprise app. Identify the two actions you must take. (opt any TWO)

Options

  • AVerify that only the correct Admin consent permissions are configured.
  • BReview the Enterprise Application in Security Center.
  • CVerify that the correct User and Admin consent permissions are configured.
  • DReview the Enterprise Application in Azure Active Directory.

Why each option

For a non-interactive Azure enterprise app, it is essential to verify that only the necessary admin consent permissions are configured to adhere to the principle of least privilege.

AVerify that only the correct Admin consent permissions are configured.Correct

Non-interactive enterprise applications, particularly those integrating with the tenant directory for system-level functions like email verification, rely exclusively on administrative consent for permissions. Verifying that *only* the correct and minimum necessary admin consent permissions are configured ensures the principle of least privilege is applied, minimizing potential security vulnerabilities.

BReview the Enterprise Application in Security Center.

Azure Security Center (now Defender for Cloud) provides broad security posture management and threat protection, but it is not the primary interface for directly viewing or configuring specific application permissions.

CVerify that the correct User and Admin consent permissions are configured.

While permissions need configuring, specifying 'User and Admin consent permissions' is less accurate for a non-interactive application where user consent is typically irrelevant; the focus should be on administrative consent.

DReview the Enterprise Application in Azure Active Directory.

While you would indeed review the Enterprise Application *in* Azure Active Directory (now Microsoft Entra ID) to perform this task, 'Verify that only the correct Admin consent permissions are configured' is the specific action related to permissions, making it the more precise answer for what must be taken.
