You have an Azure subscription named Sub1. Sub1 contains 60 virtual machines that run either Window Server or Linux.
All the Windows Server virtual machines host line-of-business (LOB) applications and all the Linux virtual machines host backend databases.
You need to enable malware protection for the virtual machines.
Which Microsoft Defender for Cloud plan should you enable for each type of virtual machine? To answer, drag the appropriate plans to the correct virtual machine types. Each plan may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Correct Answer:

Explanation:
Virtual machine type
Plan
Windows Server
Microsoft Defender for Servers
Linux
Microsoft Defender for Servers
Microsoft Defender for Servers is the correct plan for both the Windows Server and Linux virtual machines because the requirement is to provide malware protection at the virtual-machine operating-system level .
Defender for Servers protects both Windows and Linux VMs and integrates with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint to provide endpoint protection, including antimalware capabilities. Microsoft states that Defender for Servers supports Windows and Linux virtual machines across Azure and other supported environments.
For Linux systems, Defender for Servers deploys the Defender for Endpoint component that includes antimalware functionality. For Windows Server, Defender Antivirus is integrated with Defender for Endpoint and provides malware protection. In addition, Defender for Servers Plan 2 supports agentless malware scanning , which scans VM disks for malicious files without installing an additional scanning agent.
The fact that the Linux machines host databases does not make Microsoft Defender for Databases the correct answer. Defender for Databases protects supported database workloads against database-specific threats; it does not replace VM-level malware protection.
