QuestionQ274

Design solutions that align with security best practices and priorities

You have an Azure AD tenant that synchronizes with an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain.

Your on-premises datacenter contains 100 servers. The servers run Windows Server and are backed up by using Microsoft Azure Backup Server (MABS).

You are designing a recovery solution for ransomware attacks. The solution adheres to Microsoft Security Best Practices.

You need to ensure that a compromised administrator account cannot be used to delete the backups.

What should you do?

  • A From Azure Backup, configure multi-user authorization by using Resource Guard.
  • B From Microsoft Azure Backup Setup, register MABS with a Recovery Services vault.
  • C From a Recovery Services vault, generate a security PIN for critical operations.
  • D From Azure AD Privileged Identity Management (PIM), create a role assignment for the Backup Contributor role.
Explanation

Azure Backup multi-user authorization uses a Resource Guard to protect critical operations. It requires applicable authorization on the separate Resource Guard, so a backup administrator account without those permissions cannot independently perform protected deletion-related operations.
