Exam SC-100 Topic 2 Question 249 Discussion

Explanation:
Box 1: Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF)
Inbound connections to App1 that contain security threats specified in the Core Rule Set (CRS) from the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) must be blocked.
The Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF) on Azure Application Gateway actively safeguards your web applications against common exploits and vulnerabilities. As web applications become more frequent targets for malicious attacks, these attacks often exploit well-known vulnerabilities such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting.
WAF on Application Gateway is based on the Core Rule Set (CRS) from the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP).
Box 2: Azure Firewall
Outbound HTTP and HTTPS connections from the virtual machine scale set that contain security threats identified by the Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence (Defender TI) feed must be blocked.
Azure Firewall threat intelligence-based filtering
You can enable Threat intelligence-based filtering for your firewall to alert and deny traffic from/to known malicious IP addresses, FQDNs, and URLs. The IP addresses, domains and URLs are sourced from the Microsoft Threat Intelligence feed, which includes multiple sources including the Microsoft Cyber Security team. Intelligent Security Graph powers Microsoft threat intelligence and uses multiple services including Microsoft Defender for Cloud.
