Microsoft Security Operations Analyst Associate SC-200 Practice Question
Your security operations team is analyzing an incident in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. The suspicious laptop is still connected to the corporate Wi-Fi, and ongoing communications with a command-and-control server are observed. You must immediately cut all outgoing and incoming traffic while still being able to run Live Response commands and collect an investigation package. Which device action should you choose?
Offboard the device from Microsoft Defender for Endpoint
Isolating the device instructs Microsoft Defender for Endpoint to add local firewall rules that block all inbound and outbound network traffic except what is required for Defender for Endpoint services, Windows Update, and other security-related operations. Because these communications remain available, you can still execute Live Response sessions and download an investigation package to continue remote analysis.
Restricting app execution only prevents untrusted processes from running but leaves network connectivity in place. Running a quick scan simply triggers a Defender antivirus scan and does not affect network activity. Offboarding the device removes it from Defender for Endpoint management and would actually reduce your ability to investigate rather than preserve it.
