You have a Microsoft Entra tenant that contains 10 Windows 11 devices and two groups named Group1 and Group2. The Windows 11 devices are joined to the Microsoft Entra tenant and are managed by using Microsoft Intune.

You are designing a privileged access strategy based on the rapid modernization plan (RaMP). The strategy will include the following configurations:

• Each user in Group1 will be assigned a Windows 11 device that will be configured as a privileged access device.
• The Security Administrator role will be mapped to the privileged access security level.
• The users in Group1 will be assigned the Security Administrator role.

Overview

Litware, Inc. is a financial services company that has main offices in New York and San Francisco. Litware has 30 branch offices and remote employees across the United States. The remote employees connect to the main offices by using a VPN.

Litware has grown significantly during the last two years due to mergers and acquisitions. The acquisitions include several companies based in France.

Existing Environment

Litware has a Microsoft Entra tenant that syncs with an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) forest named litware.com and is linked to 20 Azure subscriptions. Microsoft Entra Connect is used to implement pass-through authentication. Password hash synchronization is disabled, and password writeback is enabled. All Litware users have Microsoft 365 E5 licenses.

The environment also includes several AD DS forests, Microsoft Entra tenants, and hundreds of Azure subscriptions that belong to the subsidiaries of Litware.

Requirements. Planned Changes

Litware plans to implement the following changes:

• Create a management group hierarchy for each Microsoft Entra tenant.

o Provide change tracking and asset inventory.
o Implement patch management.
• Provide centralized, cross-tenant subscription management without the overhead of maintaining guest accounts.

Requirements. Microsoft Sentinel Requirements

Litware plans to leverage the security information and event management (SIEM) and security orchestration automated response (SOAR) capabilities of Microsoft Sentinel. The company wants to centralize Security Operations Center (SOC) by using Microsoft Sentinel.

Requirements. Identity Requirements

Litware identifies the following identity requirements:

• Detect brute force attacks that directly target AD DS user accounts.

• Use the principle of least privilege.

Requirements. Azure Landing Zone Requirements

Litware identifies the following landing zone requirements:

• Route all internet-bound traffic from landing zones through Azure Firewall in a dedicated Azure subscription.
• Provide a secure score scoped to the landing zone.
• Ensure that the Azure virtual machines in each landing zone communicate with Azure App Service web apps in the same zone over the Microsoft backbone network, rather than over public endpoints.
