In what policy do you configure the settings for anti-virus scanning?

1. Threat Defense

2. Threat Management

3. Threat Protection

4. Firewall Security

The correct answer is: Threat Protection

The correct choice is the policy that specifically focuses on the settings for anti-virus scanning, which is often aimed at protecting systems from malware and other malicious threats. This policy typically includes configurations for how the scanning is performed, what types of files are scanned, and how to respond to detected threats. The other options, while related to security, do not specifically deal with the configuration of anti-virus scanning. For example, Threat Defense might incorporate broad security measures, Threat Management could encompass multiple aspects of security operations, and Firewall Security is primarily about controlling network traffic and establishing barriers against unauthorized access. In contrast, the chosen policy directly addresses the mechanisms and configurations necessary to ensure effective anti-virus scanning, making it the most fitting choice for this context.
