Hotspot Question
You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription.
You need to identify documents that contain patent application numbers containing the letters PA followed by eight digits, for example, PA 12345678.
The solution must minimize administrative effort.
What should you do? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: Since you are looking for a specific pattern (PA followed by eight digits, e.g., PA
12345678), the best classification method is Sensitive Info Type. Sensitive Info Types allow pattern-based matching to identify structured data. Exact Data Match (EDM) is not needed because you're not comparing against a fixed dataset. Trainable classifier is not appropriate because this is a structured pattern, not an unstructured document classification.
Box 2: Since PA 12345678 follows a structured pattern, the most effective method is Regular Expression (Regex). A Regular Expression (Regex) can be written to match "PA" followed by exactly eight digits (e.g., PA\s\d{8}). Keyword dictionary is not ideal because it works for predefined words, not number patterns. Function is unnecessary because there is no need for checksum validation or predefined validation rules.
You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription that contains a Windows 11 device named Device1 and three users named User1, User2, and User3.
You plan to deploy Azure information Protection (AIP) and the Microsoft Purview information Protection client to Device1.
You need to ensure that the users can perform the following actions on Device1 as part of the planned deployment:
- User1 will test the functionality of the client.
- User2 will install and configure the Microsoft Rights Management
connector.
- User3 will be configured as the service account for the information
protection scanner.
The solution must maximize the security of the sign-in process for the users.
What should you do?
- A. Exclude User2 and User3 from multifactor authentication (MFA).
- B. Exclude User1 and User2 from multifactor authentication (MFA).
- C. Enable User2 and User3 for passwordless authentication.
- D. Enable User1, User2, and User3 for passkey (FIDO2) authentication.

Hotspot Question
You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription that uses Microsoft Purview.
You need ensure that an incident will be generated when a user visits a phishing website.
What should you do? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: Insider Risk Management policies in Microsoft Purview can be configured to detect risky behavior, such as accessing phishing websites. These policies monitor user activity, generate alerts, and help organizations investigate potential security threats.
Box 2: Microsoft Defender Browser Protection extension helps in detecting unsafe or phishing websites and integrating this detection with Insider Risk Management policies. This extension works with Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome to identify risky browsing activity and trigger alerts.
