Question

You decide to protect your Azure Virtual Network resources using Azure Firewall. But there are a number of different possible issues with the Firewall. In case of the issue “Threat intelligence alerts may get masked”, how can you mitigate the issue? (Choose two)

  • BCreate outbound filtering for 80/443 using application rules.
  • Cchange the threat intelligence mode to Alert and Deny.
  • DUse authenticated SMTP relay services
  • EUse only IPv4 addresses.

Explanation

The 'Threat intelligence alerts may get masked' issue in Azure Firewall occurs because when application rules process HTTP/HTTPS traffic (ports 80/443), they take priority and can prevent threat intelligence from inspecting that same traffic, masking potential alerts. To mitigate this: (B) Create outbound filtering rules for ports 80 and 443 using application rules - this ensures traffic is inspected at the application layer; and (C) Change the threat intelligence mode to 'Alert and Deny' - this actively blocks and alerts on known malicious traffic rather than just alerting. Authenticated SMTP relay (D) addresses a different issue (SMTP relay blocking), and IPv4-only restriction (E) is irrelevant to this problem.
