Question 60
A suspected ransomware chain has ASR blocks and Defender XDR alerts across several devices. Which response best meets the security operations requirement?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Joint analysis places preventative blocks in the wider attack sequence. This directly addresses the requirement to reconstruct protected attack activity.
Incorrect Answers
Inventory presence alone does not prove the Defender sensor is supplying current records. This addresses investigate stale endpoint sensor data; it does not directly satisfy reconstruct protected attack activity.
Audited exceptions preserve protection while limiting broad unsupported allowlists. Its intended use is to govern ASR exception approvals, whereas this case requires the analyst to reconstruct protected attack activity.
Correlating policy deployment and event onset helps distinguish rollout impact from attack activity. That action focuses on explain an ASR event spike rather than the specified need to reconstruct protected attack activity.
