Microsoft Security Operations Analyst Associate SC-200 Practice Question
You are investigating a widespread phishing attack in Microsoft Defender for Office 365. In Threat Explorer you have selected all instances of the malicious message. You need to ensure that the email is removed from every affected mailbox so users cannot interact with it, but you also want to keep a copy that security analysts can later download for forensic analysis. Which remediation action should you choose?
Choose Move message to quarantine. This action pulls the email from every mailbox and places a copy in quarantine, where administrators or security analysts (with the necessary roles) can later review or download it.
Soft delete only moves the message to each user's Deleted Items folder, so users could still restore it themselves. Hard delete removes the message from visible folders and moves it to the mailbox's Recoverable Items\Purges subfolder, making it unavailable to users and harder for analysts to access. Submitting a message for analysis sends a copy to Microsoft but does not remove messages already delivered to mailboxes.
