Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Add the indicator to an active Indicator Whitelist / Exclusion list within Threat Intelligence settings
Why this is correct
Whitelists and exclusion lists ensure that specific indicators are ignored during matching and correlation.
- ✗
Create an exception rule in the Endpoint Protection policy
Why it's wrong here
Endpoint protection policies manage endpoint behavior, not threat intelligence indicator matching.
- ✗
Disable all threat intelligence feeds globally
Why it's wrong here
Disabling all feeds would remove protection against legitimate threats.
- ✗
Delete the indicator manually from every active incident
Why it's wrong here
Manually deleting from incidents does not prevent future alerts from triggering.
