Microsoft 365 Administrator Expert MS-102 Practice Question
Your SOC receives threat intelligence that a new ransomware loader (SHA-256: 0d73…9bc) is circulating. You must ensure Microsoft Defender XDR will quarantine any existing copies, block execution or download on all onboarded devices, and raise an alert. In the Threat intelligence → Indicators workspace, you create a file indicator for the hash. Which action should you assign to meet these requirements?
Select the Block and remediate action. For file-hash indicators, this action instructs Microsoft Defender Antivirus and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint to quarantine matching files, prevent future execution or download, and generate an alert each time the hash is encountered.
The other actions do not meet all requirements:
Alert only raises an alert but does not block or remove the file.
Allow records telemetry and permits the file to run without alerts or blocking.
Block applies to network indicators (IP, URL, domain) rather than file hashes and therefore will not quarantine existing files.
