Exam insights and study advice

Separate identity, threat detection and data-governance requirements before choosing a Microsoft service. For each missed question, state the object being protected and the action requested: authentication, authorization, investigation, classification or retention. Then compare the relevant product capabilities in Microsoft Learn. Avoid selecting a product simply because its name sounds security-related.
