    B.

    Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF) on Azure Application Gateway

    C.

    Azure DDoS Protection Standard

    D.

    Full Answer

    B.Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF) on Azure Application Gateway✓ Correct
    Requirement 4 asks to protect web applications from SQL injection. SQL injection is a Layer 7 (application layer) attack. The Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF) is purpose-built to protect web apps from common exploits and vulnerabilities, including the OWASP Top 10 (SQL injection, Cross-Site Scripting, etc.). WAF can be deployed on Azure Application Gateway (for regional apps) or Azure Front Door (for global apps).

    Common mistakes

    Choosing Azure Firewall. While Azure Firewall is great for outbound and east-west traffic, WAF is the specialized tool for inbound web application protection.
