Question 470
At the Orchardfield financial services firm, an application VM accepts management traffic from every internet address because its subnet NSG has an overly broad allow rule. What risk should the team identify as the primary issue?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The evidence indicates that an NSG filters traffic at the configured subnet or network-interface boundary using security rules. The appropriate response is to constrain the network security group rule to approved source prefixes ports and protocol and demonstrate that an approved administrative source connects while an unknown source's management port test is blocked. This result addresses the stated challenge at the Orchardfield financial services firm.
Incorrect Answers
This explanation belongs to a different security or compliance situation. In this case, the observable gap is that an NSG filters traffic at the configured subnet or network-interface boundary using security rules. For the Orchardfield financial services firm, the direct corrective action is to constrain the network security group rule to approved source prefixes ports and protocol.
Threat intelligence supplies information about suspected adversaries indicators and techniques to aid detection and triage. That may occur elsewhere, but the evidence at the Orchardfield financial services firm instead points to the fact that an NSG filters traffic at the configured subnet or network-interface boundary using security rules.
Endpoint antivirus controls need supported configuration and current threat intelligence to protect file and process activity. That is not the mechanism that accounts for the stated failure at the Orchardfield financial services firm.
