Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

In Microsoft Sentinel, the Advanced Security Information Model (ASIM) provides a standardized schema and parser layer for common telemetry types (DNS, Authentication, NetworkSession, etc.). To investigate DNS-related activity, you should use the ASIM-normalized table ASim_Dns, which unifies data from multiple DNS sources (Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Azure Firewall, DNS servers, etc.) under a consistent schema.

The ASim_Dns parser standardizes key fields such as:

TimeGenerated → timestamp of the DNS event

ResponseCodeName → name of the DNS response code (e.g., NXDOMAIN, NOERROR, etc.)

QueryName → domain name queried

SrcIpAddr and DstIpAddr → IP addresses involved

To investigate recent DNS failures (e.g., non-existent domains), the query filters for events where:

TimeGenerated > ago(7d) ― limits to the last 7 days of DNS logs.

ResponseCodeName == "NXDOMAIN" ― identifies DNS lookups that returned “Non-Existent Domain,” a common indicator of suspicious or misconfigured activity.

Therefore, the correct and compliant ASIM-based query syntax is:

ASim_Dns

| where TimeGenerated > ago(7d)

| where ResponseCodeName == "NXDOMAIN"

This approach ensures your investigation leverages ASIM normalization and aligns with Microsoft Sentinel best practices for DNS event analysis.

You have an Azure subscription that uses Microsoft Sentinel.

You need to create a custom report that will visualise sign-in information over time.

You create a new source-specific parser named vimProcessCreate.

You need to modify the parsers to meet the following requirements:

• Call all the ProcessCreate parsers.

• Standardize fields to the Process schema.

Which parser should you modify to meet each requirement? To answer, drag the appropriate parsers to the correct requirements. tach parser may be used once, more than once, or not at all You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content. NOTE Each correct selection is worth one point.

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

Microsoft Sentinel uses the Advanced Security Information Model (ASIM) to normalize logs into a consistent schema, enabling unified queries, analytics rules, and hunting queries across multiple data sources.

Each ASIM function has a structured parser hierarchy, typically consisting of:

A master (or orchestrator) parser, which aggregates and calls all source-specific parsers.

Source-specific parsers, which map raw data from each data source (like Windows SecurityEvents, Sysmon, or custom logs) to the ASIM schema fields.

In the case of ProcessCreate events:

_Im_ProcessCreate is the master parser. Its role is to call all ProcessCreate parsers, including both built-in and custom ones (for example, imProcessCreate, vimProcessCreate, or other vendor-specific parsers).

Parsers like imProcessCreate (for native sources) and vimProcessCreate (for custom or vendor-specific sources) are source-specific parsers. They are responsible for standardizing and mapping raw fields into the ASIM Process schema, ensuring consistent naming such as ActorProcessName, TargetProcessName, and TargetProcessCommandLine.

Based on Microsoft’s ASIM documentation:

“The _Im_ functions are orchestrators that call all source-specific parsers. Each im or vim parser converts native data into the ASIM schema for its respective source.”

Therefore:

To call all ProcessCreate parsers, modify _Im_ProcessCreate.

To standardize fields to the Process schema, modify vimProcessCreate (the new source-specific parser you created).

✅ Final Answers:

Call all the ProcessCreate parsers: _Im_ProcessCreate

Standardize fields to the Process schema: vimProcessCreate

Your company stores the data for every project in a different Azure subscription. All the subscriptions use the same Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant.

Every project consists of multiple Azure virtual machines that run Windows Server. The Windows events of the virtual machines are stored in a Log Analytics workspace in each machine’s respective subscription.

You deploy Azure Sentinel to a new Azure subscription.

You need to perform hunting queries in Azure Sentinel to search across all the Log Analytics workspaces of all the subscriptions.

Topic 4, Misc. Questions

Fabrikam. Inc. is a financial services company.

The company has branch offices in New York. London, and Singapore. Fabrikam has remote users located across the globe. The remote users access company resources, including cloud resources, by using a VPN connection to a branch office.

The network contains an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) forest named fabrikam.com that syncs with an Azure AD tenant named fabrikam.com. To sync the forest, Fabrikam uses Azure AD Connect with pass-through authentication enabled and password hash synchronization disabled. The fabrikam.com forest contains two global groups named Group1 and Group2.

All the users at Fabrikam are assigned a Microsoft 365 E5 license and an Azure Active Directory Premium Plan 2 license. Fabrikam implements Microsoft Defender for Identity and Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps and enables log collectors.

Fabrikam has an Azure subscription that contains the resources shown in the following table.

Fabrikam has an Amazon Web Services (AWS) account named Account1. Account1 contains 100 Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances that run a custom Windows Server 2022. The image includes Microsoft SQL Server 2019 and does NOT have any agents installed.

When the users use the VPN connections. Microsoft 365 Defender raises a high volume of impossible travel alerts that are false positives. Defender for Identity raises a high volume of Suspected DCSync attack alerts that are false positives.

Fabrikam plans to implement the following services:

• Microsoft Defender for Cloud

• Microsoft Sentinel

Fabrikam identifies the following business requirements:

• Use the principle of least privilege, whenever possible.

• Minimize administrative effort.

Fabrikam identifies the following Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps requirements:

• Ensure that impossible travel alert policies are based on the previous activities of each user.

• Reduce the amount of impossible travel alerts that are false positives.

Minimize the administrative effort required to investigate the false positive alerts.

You are investigating an incident by using Microsoft 365 Defender.

You need to create an advanced hunting query to detect failed sign-in authentications on three devices named CFOLaptop, CEOLaptop, and COOLaptop.

How should you complete the query? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

In Microsoft 365 Defender’s Advanced Hunting (Kusto Query Language – KQL), investigators use the Device Logon Events table to search for authentication attempts and filter failed logons. To detect failed sign-ins from specific devices, you begin by applying a where clause that filters only the relevant logon failures and the specific device names you want to investigate.

The correct syntax and logical order―based on Microsoft Security Operations (SecOps) and Microsoft 365 Defender hunting guide―is to first filter (where) the ActionType to “LogonFailed,” then narrow down the dataset to the target devices (DeviceName in ("CFOLaptop", "CEOLaptop", "COOLaptop")). This ensures that only failed authentication attempts from those three machines are included.

After filtering, the summarize operator is used to group the data by Device Name and Logon Type, counting how many failures occurred per device and logon type. This aggregation step follows Microsoft’s recommended practice for incident hunting, allowing analysts to quickly assess which devices are generating unusual authentication failure volumes.

Finally, the project statement selects only the Logon Failures output, simplifying the results for reporting or alerting purposes.

This query structure aligns exactly with Microsoft 365 Defender Advanced Hunting documentation for detecting failed logins on specific endpoints while maintaining query efficiency and clarity, minimizing administrative overhead during investigations
