When using Automatic Responses to email alerts on security events, what should be configured to enable the response?

• A. Policy
• B. Contact
• C. Rule
• D. Notification

Answer: (B)

Enabling automatic email responses hinges on who will receive the alert. You must configure a contact, which defines the recipient’s email address and preferences for notifications and automatic responses. The contact serves as the destination for the email when the security event triggers the automatic response. Without a configured contact, there’s no recipient for the alert, so the response can’t be delivered. Policies and rules control what happens and under what conditions, while a notification defines the message content, but the actual delivery requires a configured contact.
