Exam SC-500 Topic 1 Question 44 Discussion

Actual exam question for Microsoft's SC-500 exam
Question #: 44
Topic #: 1

You have an Azure subscription named Sub1 that contains multiple virtual machines and an Azure key vault named KV1.
Each virtual machine has a system-assigned managed identity. Sub1 has Microsoft Defender for Servers enabled. Defender for Servers has agentless scanning enabled.
Some virtual machines use managed disks that are encrypted by using customer-managed keys stored in KV1.
You discover that the affected virtual machines fail to return agentless scanning results in Microsoft Defender for Cloud.
You need to ensure that agentless scanning can analyze the virtual machines.
What should you do?

A. Assign each virtual machine managed identity the Key Vault Reader role for KV1. B. Enable Microsoft Defender for Key Vault for Sub1. C. Assign the scanning service the Key Vault Crypto Service Encryption User role for KV1. D. Enable just-in-time (JIT) VM access for the affected virtual machines. E. Assign the scanning service the Key Vault Secrets User role for KV1.

Suggested Answer: E Vote an answer

To remedy this problem, you must grant the Microsoft Defender for Cloud agentless scanning service principal permission to access the Azure Key Vault containing your customer-managed keys (CMK).Because the virtual machines' underlying managed disks are encrypted with a customer-managed key, the agentless scanning mechanism (which creates and analyzes out-of- band disk snapshots) is blocked from reading the disk content unless it has explicit cryptographic permissions to unwrap the encryption key.
The Key Vault Crypto Service Encryption User role is the appropriate role to use.
Key Vault Crypto Service Encryption User:
Read metadata of keys and perform wrap/unwrap operations. Only works for key vaults that use the 'Azure role-based access control' permission model.
