Design security solutions for applications and data

You have a Microsoft 365 subscription containing 1,000 Microsoft Exchange Online mailboxes.

Inbound internet email is scanned for security threats by a third-party cloud service.

You are assessing whether to replace the third-party service with Microsoft Defender for Office 365.

What should you change to ensure that all incoming email is scanned only by Defender for Office 365?

  • A the accepted domains in Exchange Online
  • B the DNS records
  • C the Exchange Online transport rule
  • D the Exchange Online connectors
