Google Workspace Associate Administrator — Question 53

You’ve received multiple reports about a suspicious email from someone who is pretending to be from your organization’s human resources department. The email is prompting employees to click a link for a password update. You want to remediate this sender’s emails. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Use the security investigation tool to search for users who received the suspicious email, and select Mark message as phishing.
• B. Use the security investigation tool to action the suspicious email and select Mark message as spam.
• C. Create an activity rule to alert administrators to similar emails from that sender.
• D. Notify all employees and request that they report this email as spam.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because marking the message as phishing directly informs the security system about the malicious intent, allowing for better protection against future threats. Option B is incorrect as it categorizes the email as spam rather than addressing the phishing attempt. Option C is not as immediate in protecting users, and option D does not actively remediate the issue but relies on user action.
