Question 180
An EMS deployment team reports: A policy exception grants quarantined endpoints access to internal file shares along with update servers. Which administrator action should be taken first?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The direct corrective investigation is: Reduce isolation exceptions to the documented destination, service, and minimal recovery purpose. Its technical basis is quarantine remediation access should not become a broad path to protected business resources. The measurable acceptance condition is: Recovery traffic works through narrow approved rules and unauthorized destinations remain blocked.
Incorrect Answers
The alternate choice relates to 'A security profile is designed to quarantine devices after a single misleading test event without any validation.' It would prompt validate tagging conditions against safe positive and negative test endpoints before production activation. The current issue instead requires reduce isolation exceptions to the documented destination, service, and minimal recovery purpose.
That option would be better suited to the separate incident 'An analyst tests only an administrator laptop that is exempt from posture scanning.' Its supporting principle is dynamic quarantine membership reflects policy conditions and the endpoints actually evaluated by EMS. In this case the key condition is quarantine remediation access should not become a broad path to protected business resources.
Although this option is relevant to 'An incident team cannot explain why one laptop was isolated for an hour and another was not.', it would not distinguish the actual incident described. The target is to reduce isolation exceptions to the documented destination, service, and minimal recovery purpose. and establish recovery traffic works through narrow approved rules and unauthorized destinations remain blocked.
