What is the behavior of Defenders when the Console is unreachable during upgrades?

Answer options

• A. Defenders continue to alert, but not enforce, using the policies and settings most recently cached before upgrading the Console.
• B. Defenders will fail closed until the web-socket can be re-established.
• C. Defenders will fail open until the web-socket can be re-established.
• D. Defenders continue to alert and enforce using the policies and settings most recently cached before upgrading the Console.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because during an upgrade, Defenders utilize the most recently cached policies and settings to continue both alerting and enforcement. Option A is incorrect as it states that Defenders do not enforce, while B and C incorrectly describe the fail states that Defenders enter during this scenario.
