Question 710
A remote laptop is reimaged and disappears from Defender reporting because onboarding was performed only once manually. The change owner plans to: Deploy Defender for Endpoint onboarding through a persistent approved endpoint-management policy. Which validation or governance guardrail is best suited to the proposed fix?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The specific rollout control is Test duplicate device identities and offboarding of obsolete records. It protects the proposed intervention 'Deploy Defender for Endpoint onboarding through a persistent approved endpoint-management policy.' against the failure mode that one-time manual onboarding is not a reliable fleet lifecycle process for reimaged devices. Success should also be checked through: A newly provisioned laptop automatically reappears in Defender after required policy processing.
Incorrect Answers
Overlapping local and centrally managed security controls can cause conflicting effective settings. The proposed change also needs protection against this risk: One-time manual onboarding is not a reliable fleet lifecycle process for reimaged devices. The applicable safeguard is: Test duplicate device identities and offboarding of obsolete records.
Automated endpoint actions can interrupt high-availability or safety-sensitive systems. The proposed change also needs protection against this risk: One-time manual onboarding is not a reliable fleet lifecycle process for reimaged devices. The applicable safeguard is: Test duplicate device identities and offboarding of obsolete records.
Raw vulnerability counts do not rank the practical business impact of each exposure. The proposed change also needs protection against this risk: One-time manual onboarding is not a reliable fleet lifecycle process for reimaged devices. The applicable safeguard is: Test duplicate device identities and offboarding of obsolete records.
