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 subscription. You have 1,000 Windows devices that have a third-party antivirus product installed and Microsoft Defender Antivirus in passive mode. You need to ensure that the devices are protected from malicious artifacts that were undetected by the third-party antivirus product. Solution: You configure Controlled folder access.

Explanation

Configuring Controlled Folder Access does not meet the goal. Controlled Folder Access is a feature of Microsoft Defender Antivirus that protects specific folders from unauthorized changes by ransomware or other malicious apps. However, this feature requires Microsoft Defender Antivirus to be active and does not address the scenario where Defender Antivirus is in passive mode due to the presence of a third-party antivirus. To meet the goal of protecting the devices from malicious artifacts undetected by the third-party antivirus, you should enable EDR in block mode. EDR in block mode works even when Microsoft Defender Antivirus is in passive mode, allowing Microsoft Defender for Endpoint to remediate threats missed by the third-party antivirus. Thus, configuring Controlled Folder Access is not the correct solution in this scenario.
