Question

Case Study 1 - Litware, Inc Overview Litware, Inc. is a digital media company that has 500 employees in the Chicago area and 20 employees in the San Francisco area. Existing Environment Litware has an Azure subscription named Sub1 that has a subscription ID of 43894a43-17c2- 4a39-8cfc-3540c2653ef4. Sub1 is associated to an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant named litwareinc.com. The tenant contains the user objects and the device objects of all the Litware employees and their devices. Each user is assigned an Azure AD Premium P2 license. Azure AD Privileged Identity Management (PIM) is activated. The tenant contains the groups shown in the following table. The Azure subscription contains the objects shown in the following table. Azure Security Center is set to the Free tier. Planned changes Litware plans to deploy the Azure resources shown in the following table. Litware identifies the following identity and access requirements: All San Francisco users and their devices must be members of Group1. The members of Group2 must be assigned the Contributor role to Resource Group2 by using a permanent eligible assignment. Users must be prevented from registering applications in Azure AD and from consenting to applications that access company information on the users' behalf. Platform Protection Requirements Litware identifies the following platform protection requirements: Microsoft Antimalware must be installed on the virtual machines in Resource Group1. The members of Group2 must be assigned the Azure Kubernetes Service Cluster Admin Role. Azure AD users must be to authenticate to AKS1 by using their Azure AD credentials. Following the implementation of the planned changes, the IT team must be able to connect to VM0 by using JIT VM access. A new custom RBAC role named Role1 must be used to delegate the administration of the managed disks in Resource Group1. Role1 must be available only for Resource Group1. Security Operations Requirements Litware must be able to customize the operating system security configurations in Azure Security Center. You need to configure WebApp1 to meet the data and application requirements. Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Options

  • AUpload a public certificate.
  • BTurn on the HTTPS Only protocol setting.
  • CSet the Minimum TLS Version protocol setting to 1.2.
  • DChange the pricing tier of the App Service plan.
  • ETurn on the Incoming client certificates protocol setting.

Explanation

Explanation

Configuring WebApp1 to meet data and application requirements involves ensuring secure communication and mutual authentication. Option B (HTTPS Only) is correct because it forces all HTTP traffic to redirect to HTTPS, ensuring data in transit is encrypted and preventing insecure connections to the web application. Option E (Incoming Client Certificates) is correct because enabling this setting requires clients to present a certificate when connecting, implementing mutual TLS authentication - a common requirement for securing web applications that handle sensitive company data.

Why the distractors are wrong:

  • Option A is incorrect because simply uploading a public certificate doesn't enforce its use; you must also enable client certificate requirements (Option E does this).
  • Option C is incorrect because while setting TLS 1.2 is a security best practice, the question's requirements are specifically met by enforcing HTTPS and client certificate authentication - TLS version configuration is not indicated as a stated requirement.
  • Option D is incorrect because changing the App Service pricing tier relates to scaling and features (like adding deployment slots), not security configuration for data protection requirements.

Memory Tip

Think "Lock the Door (HTTPS Only) + Check ID at the Door (Client Certificates)" - securing a web app means both encrypting the channel and verifying who's knocking. If a question mentions mutual authentication or client verification, always look for the client certificates toggle.
