What will happen if you do not regenerate the compromised storage account keys?

1. Data will be automatically backed up

2. Access to the workspace may continue to be at risk

3. All users will be logged out of the workspace

4. The workspace will be deleted

The correct answer is: Access to the workspace may continue to be at risk

If you do not regenerate the compromised storage account keys, access to the workspace may continue to be at risk. The keys provide authentication and access control to the storage associated with the workspace. If the keys are compromised, unauthorized users could potentially gain access to sensitive data or manage resources within the storage account. By not regenerating the keys, you leave the environment vulnerable to security threats. The workspace may continue functioning normally for users with the old keys until those keys are invalidated or misused, increasing the risk of data exposure. The other options do not accurately reflect the implications of not regenerating compromised storage account keys. Automatic data backup is unrelated to key management, and there is no system-triggered action that would log all users out or delete the workspace simply based on key compromise without an explicit action taken by an administrator.
