Microsoft Cybersecurity Architect — Question 18

You are designing a ransomware response plan that follows Microsoft Security Best Practices.

You need to recommend a solution to minimize the risk of a ransomware attack encrypting local user files.

What should you include in the recommendation?

Answer options

• A. Windows Defender Device Guard
• B. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint
• C. Azure Files
• D. BitLocker Drive Encryption (BitLocker)
• E. protected folders

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The correct answer is E, as protected folders provide a layer of security that helps prevent unauthorized access to files and mitigates the risk of ransomware encryption. Options A, B, C, and D are helpful security measures but do not specifically address the protection of local user files from encryption by ransomware.
