Exhibit

Answer Area

You can configure Microsoft Defender for Office 365 policies to set the appropriate level of protection for your organization
You can use automated investigation and response (AIR) capabilities to start a security playbook for an automated investigation
You can configure the Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Attack Simulator to identify vulnerable users to help prevent a real attack

Explanation

Approach. Microsoft Defender for Office 365 (formerly ATP) includes Safe Attachments (which detonates attachments in a sandbox to detect malware), Safe Links (which scans URLs at click-time to protect against malicious links), and Anti-phishing policies (which use machine learning to detect impersonation and spoofing attacks). Plan 1 covers Safe Attachments, Safe Links, and anti-phishing, while Plan 2 adds Threat Explorer, Attack Simulator, and automated investigation and response (AIR). When evaluating each statement, confirm whether the described feature or behavior aligns with documented Defender for Office 365 functionality - features like real-time reports, zero-hour auto purge (ZAP), and protection for SharePoint/OneDrive/Teams are all included, making those statements 'Yes', while features outside its scope such as endpoint protection or identity protection would be 'No'.

Concept tested. Microsoft Defender for Office 365 feature coverage - including Safe Attachments, Safe Links, anti-phishing, Zero-Hour Auto Purge (ZAP), Threat Explorer, Attack Simulator, and protection scope across Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams.
