Question 250
During an access-management pilot, the engineer is tasked with the following: Helpdesk operators want to avoid endlessly retrying MFA when sign-in risk remains elevated because the source IP is hostile. Which action best addresses the requirement?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Correct implementation. Use the sign-in risk details and Conditional Access evaluation to investigate the detection and apply the targeted policy response. It meets the stated requirement: Helpdesk operators want to avoid endlessly retrying MFA when sign-in risk remains elevated because the source IP is hostile. Acceptance evidence is: The identified risky event remains visible with its source context and the policy makes the intended challenge/block decision.
Incorrect Answers
The report reads only the user's current risk label without historical detection records. That condition is not the problem here: The response changes unrelated tenant-wide MFA settings rather than addressing the specific risk event. The targeted implementation is: Use the sign-in risk details and Conditional Access evaluation to investigate the detection and apply the targeted policy response.
The tenant configured only sign-in-risk controls or the risky user lacks the registered strong authentication and hybrid password-writeback prerequisites. That condition is not the problem here: The response changes unrelated tenant-wide MFA settings rather than addressing the specific risk event. The targeted implementation is: Use the sign-in risk details and Conditional Access evaluation to investigate the detection and apply the targeted policy response.
The policy uses user risk instead of sign-in risk as its triggering condition. That condition is not the problem here: The response changes unrelated tenant-wide MFA settings rather than addressing the specific risk event. The targeted implementation is: Use the sign-in risk details and Conditional Access evaluation to investigate the detection and apply the targeted policy response.
