Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer:
Box 1: Yes -
User1 is member of Group1. Sign in from unfamiliar location is risk level Medium.

Box 2: Yes -
User2 is member of Group1. Sign in from anonymous IP address is risk level Medium.

Box 3: No -
Sign-ins from IP addresses with suspicious activity is low.
Note:

Azure AD Identity protection can detect six types of suspicious sign-in activities:
✑ Users with leaked credentials
✑ Sign-ins from anonymous IP addresses
✑ Impossible travel to atypical locations
✑ Sign-ins from infected devices
✑ Sign-ins from IP addresses with suspicious activity
✑ Sign-ins from unfamiliar locations
These six types of events are categorized in to 3 levels of risks ג€" High, Medium & Low:

Wrong answer. Should be : YES, NO, NO "When organizations both include and exclude a user or group the user or group is excluded from the policy, as an exclude action overrides an include in policy. " Source : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/conditional-access/concept-conditional-access-users-groups

shouldn't it be YES, NO, YES? the third use case is Medium sign-in risk because the authentication comes from an infected device

To support the third answer. Yes, if a user signs in from a computer containing malware that is communicating with bot servers, the user should change their password. This is an important security measure for several reasons: Malware on the computer may include keyloggers or other tools that can capture passwords as they are entered1. The malware communicating with bot servers indicates an active security breach, which could potentially expose sensitive information including login credentials2. Changing passwords is a crucial step in securing accounts after a potential compromise3. User3 = Yes

"##Sign-ins from infected devices This risk event type identifies sign-ins from devices infected with malware, that are known to actively communicate with a bot server. This is determined by correlating IP addresses of the user’s device against IP addresses that were in contact with a bot server. This risk event identifies IP addresses, not user devices. If several devices are behind a single IP address, and only some are controlled by a bot network, sign-ins from other devices my trigger this event unnecessarily, which is the reason for classifying this risk event as “Low”." https://github.com/toddkitta/azure-content/blob/master/articles/active-directory/active-directory-identityprotection-risk-events-types.md

Answer: Yes No Yes 1. Risk rating for User1 is medium and User1 is part of Group1 where Risk policy applies, So User1 will be allowed to sign-in after changing the password. 2. Risk rating for User 2 is medium, but the risk policy is not applied as User2 is part of Group2 which is excluded from the assignment. Hence User2 wont be allowed to sign-in, and won't be prompted to change the password. 3. Risk rating for User3 is medium and User3 is part of Group1 where Risk policy applies, So User3 will be allowed to sign-in after changing the password.

Yes, No Yes. B - Exclusion takes precedence of Inclusion C - Device is Infected with Malware, regardless if it's communicating with a botnet, it's detected as Malware = Medium Risk = Included in CAP.

Explanation: Box 1: Yes - User1 is member of Group1. Sign in from unfamiliar location is risk level Medium. Box 2. No - "When organizations both include and exclude a user or group the user or group is excluded from the policy, as an exclude action overrides an include in policy.

The answer to Box 3 is 'YES' because it talks about a computer containing malware communicating with bots. There is a difference between malware (MEDIUM) and suspicious activity (LOW).

NO: unfamiliar location i think is similar to IP suspected, so low level not medium level risk. NO: "anonymous" IP address is the same of "unfamiliar location", similar to suspicious IP address, so the risk is low YES: because infected device is medium risk (not IP suspected that is low rish). The question says on medium and above sign-in risk you have to require password change.

So having MFA enabled, disabled or even required doesn't impact the answer here I believe. In Entra under CA, now when you Grant access you can either have "require MFA" or "require authentication strength" or "require password change" among various options

Y, N, N. USER 1 belongs to GROUP 1 and meet the Medium or Higher Conditions USER 2 belong to GROUP 1 and 2. Since Group 2 is excluded, the user will then be excluded even though he belongs to GROUP 1. When a user is in two different groups and one is excluded, they are excluded, even if the other group they belong to is included in the RISK POLICY. USER 3 is signing in from an infected device. This risk event identifies IP addresses, not user devices. If several devices are behind a single IP address, and only some are controlled by a bot network, sign-ins from other devices my trigger this event unnecessarily, which is the reason for classifying this risk event as “Low”.
