Microsoft Security Operations Analyst Associate SC-200 Practice Question
Your organization has successfully onboarded 200 Windows 11 computers to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (MDE). As a security operations analyst, you must ensure that MDE automatically finds other computers and network-connected devices that are not yet onboarded so you can assess and protect them. Which configuration change should you make first to enable this capability?
Configure threat indicators in Microsoft 365 Defender to flag unknown endpoints.
Create a dedicated device group that is intended to contain unmanaged devices.
Enable Device discovery in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and set the discovery mode to Standard.
Turn on Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps discovery for Shadow IT monitoring.
Device discovery is the MDE feature that passively analyzes network traffic from already-onboarded endpoints to enumerate additional hosts that are not yet protected. Enabling device discovery (ideally in Standard mode) under Settings > Endpoints > Device discovery activates the sensor-based scanning needed to surface unmanaged devices in the Devices inventory. The other options do not initiate network-based enumeration of unprotected assets: creating a device group only categorizes already-known endpoints, Defender for Cloud Apps discovery gathers cloud app usage but not unmanaged hosts, and enabling threat indicators affects alert matching rather than asset discovery.
