Answer options
- A. Scanning email server for vulnerabilities
- B. Conducting security awareness training
- C. Hardening the Microsoft Exchange Server
- D. Auditing account password complexity
Correct answer: A

While conducting security awareness training, hardening the Microsoft Exchange Server, and auditing password complexity are important, they do not specifically target existing vulnerabilities like a scan would.
