Question

Note: This section contains one or more sets of questions with the same scenario and problem. Each question presents a unique solution to the problem. You must determine whether the solution meets the stated goals. More than one solution in the set might solve the problem. It is also possible that none of the solutions in the set solve the problem. After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return. As a result these questions do not appear on the Review Screen. You have a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription and use Microsoft Defender for Office 365. You need to implement a threat policy that will apply a balanced baseline protection profile to protect against spam, phishing, and malware. Solution: You create an anti-malware policy.

Why each option

No, creating only an anti-malware policy does not meet the goal of providing balanced baseline protection against spam, phishing, and malware, as it exclusively addresses malware threats.

AYes
BNoCorrect

No, creating only an anti-malware policy does not meet the goal because it specifically targets malware and would not provide protection against spam and phishing threats. A balanced baseline protection profile for email threats (spam, phishing, and malware) requires a combination of anti-malware, anti-spam, and anti-phishing policies.
