Add a Microsoft Sentinel Data connector is the wrong answer. Meant to mislead. Because question itself mentions that AAD connector was added. Which seem to cover all AAD functionality including Identity Protection feature. What you are asked to do is generate incidents based on the risk alerts. For that you use playbooks in Sentinel. Which automates tasks that SOC engineers need to such as generte risk alerts. So answer is C.

Wording is kind of weird. The data connector you're adding in Sentinel is called "Azure Active Directory Identity Protection". So yes, you're adding a data connector within Sentinel.

Clearly states Sentinel Data collector - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/sentinel/create-incidents-from-alerts

Add a Microsoft Sentinel data connector. You create an Azure Sentinel instance and configure the Azure Active Directory connector. (Microsoft Entra ID connector) You need to ensure that Azure Sentinel can generate incidents based on the risk alerts raised by Azure AD Identity Protection We need : Microsoft Entra ID Protection (a different type connector) Microsoft Sentinel | Data connectors | Content hub - Microsoft Entra ID (we suppose is already enabled) - add Microsoft Entra ID Protection Description Note: Please refer to the following before installing the solution: • Review the solution Release Notes The Microsoft Entra ID Protection solution for Microsoft Sentinel allows you to ingest Security alerts reported in Microsoft Entra ID Protection for risky users and events in Microsoft Entra ID. Data Connectors: 1, Analytic Rules: 1, Playbooks: 5

D - is correct. The correct answer is D. Modify the Diagnostics settings in Azure AD. According to the Microsoft Entra article on Connect Azure Active Directory data to Microsoft Sentinel1, you need to enable the Diagnostics settings in Azure AD to stream the sign-in logs, audit logs, and provisioning logs to a Log Analytics workspace. This is a prerequisite for connecting the Azure Active Directory data connector to Microsoft Sentinel. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/sentinel/connect-services-diagnostic-setting-based

To ensure that Azure Sentinel can generate incidents based on the risk alerts raised by Azure AD Identity Protection, you should first Create a Microsoft Sentinel Incident Creation Rule1. This rule will allow Azure Sentinel to automatically create incidents every time an alert is triggered in a connected Microsoft security solution2. You can easily configure this by navigating to Analytics in Azure Sentinel and choosing Create > Microsoft Incident Creation Rule. Then, select Azure Active Directory Identity Protection as the security service1. So, the correct answer is: C. Create a Microsoft Sentinel playbook.

AAD Identity Connector is a separate Connector, plus it has been changed now and added into the Defender 365 Data Connector

The correct answer is D. Modify the Diagnostics settings in Azure AD. According to the Microsoft Entra article on Connect Azure Active Directory data to Microsoft Sentinel1, you need to enable the Diagnostics settings in Azure AD to stream the sign-in logs, audit logs, and provisioning logs to a Log Analytics workspace. This is a prerequisite for connecting the Azure Active Directory data connector to Microsoft Sentinel.

Use playbook to generate incidents in Sentinel

The only way to generate incidents is by playbook

Playbook comes Post Incident ( it job is SOAR and not incident management). I feel A and if you feel Data conenctor are already in place then the Ans Could be D ( that is config the Sign in log or user logs ) configuration part

C. Create a Microsoft Sentinel playbook.

I will go with Answer C, Sentinel Playbook. As the question mentions the AAD connector is created You create an 'Azure Sentinel instance' and configure the 'Azure Active Directory connector'.

A is the right answer. There is a separate connector for AAD identity protection.

Creating a Sentinel instance and configuring the Azure AD Connector = configuring the Azure AD connector within Sentinel settings, as detailed here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/sentinel/create-incidents-from-alerts When configuring the connection, the option for Sentinel to generate incidents based on risk alerts for Azure AD Identity Protection is enabled, so it should already be connected and configured. This is all done before we are asked what is the first thing we should do, and I'm honestly confused as to what they want. I guess playbooks are the next step? So C?

playbook is the way to proceed if you want to have incident created https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/sentinel/overview
