What allows Azure administrators to configure access management and security settings for applications?

1. Azure AD Conditional Access

2. Network Watcher

3. Azure Monitor

4. Application Insights

The correct answer is: Azure AD Conditional Access

Azure AD Conditional Access is the feature that enables Azure administrators to configure access management and security settings specifically for applications. With Azure AD Conditional Access, administrators can create policies that assess user conditions, such as user location, device compliance, and risk level, to determine whether to grant or restrict access to applications. This ensures that security is tailored to the specific needs of the organization and helps protect their resources from unauthorized access. The other options do not serve this purpose. For instance, Network Watcher is primarily used for monitoring and diagnosing network issues, providing insights into network traffic and resources. Azure Monitor focuses on collecting, analyzing, and acting on telemetry from cloud and on-premises environments to optimize performance and availability but does not directly manage application access. Application Insights, on the other hand, is geared toward monitoring and gaining insights into application performance and usage, which is unrelated to the management of access and security settings. Consequently, Azure AD Conditional Access stands out as the correct choice for managing application access and security settings.
