Reference:
Azure Defender is a cloud-native security solution that helps detect and prevent threats across cloud and hybrid environments. It offers protection for various resources like virtual machines, containers, SQL databases, storage accounts, and more.
In a hybrid environment, Azure Defender provides protection for both on-premises and cloud resources. It integrates with on-premises security solutions like System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tools to provide a unified view of security alerts and threats.
Regarding the given scenario, the SOC analyst received an alert regarding a container that has been protected by Azure Defender. The alert provides information to manually remediate the issue and recommendations for preventing further attacks in the future. The analyst works with the infrastructure team to resolve the issue and then provides recommendations for creating automated remediation tasks for future alerts regarding the same problem.
Regarding the question, the correct answer is (A) Behavioral analytics. Azure Defender uses behavioral analytics to detect and prevent advanced threats that can evade traditional signature-based detection methods. Behavioral analytics helps identify anomalous behavior in resources and provides alerts when it detects suspicious activity.
(B) Biometric analytics is a method used for authentication and access control based on physical or behavioral traits like fingerprints, iris scans, or facial recognition. Azure Defender does not provide protection for biometric analytics.
(C) Power BI is a business analytics service by Microsoft that provides interactive visualizations and business intelligence capabilities with an interface simple enough for end-users to create their reports and dashboards. Azure Defender does not provide protection for Power BI.
(D) SIEM API is a method for integrating SIEM tools with other security solutions to provide a unified view of security alerts and threats. Azure Defender can integrate with SIEM tools to provide a unified view of security alerts, but it does not provide protection for SIEM APIs.
