Microsoft 365 Administrator Expert MS-102 Practice Question
Your organization uses Microsoft Defender for Office 365 Plan 2. A custom anti-phishing policy named Standard Protection targets all users and has a priority value of 2. Security leadership asks you to introduce stricter anti-phishing settings for members of the ExecVPs mail-enabled security group. You create a new anti-phishing policy and a corresponding rule that targets ExecVPs. Which additional configuration change is required to guarantee that the new policy is evaluated before the Standard Protection policy when email is processed?
Set the mode of the new policy rule to Enforce instead of Audit.
Add the ExecVPs group as an exception in the Standard Protection policy rule.
Change the priority value of the new policy rule to 1 so that it precedes the existing policy rule.
Anti-phishing rules are evaluated in ascending priority order-rules with lower numeric values have higher precedence. The Priority parameter on the rule can be set to any integer from 0 through 2147483647, where 0 is processed first. Merely creating a new rule does not automatically move it ahead of existing ones; you must explicitly set its Priority. Assigning the new rule a priority lower than 2 (for example, 1) ensures that it is processed before the Standard Protection rule. Changing enforcement mode, enabling Mailbox intelligence, or adding exceptions do not influence rule ordering.
