What happens if you do not automatically create policies during the initial scan?

The correct choice indicates that if policies are not automatically created during the initial scan, the system will only scan the baseline. This suggests that without the establishment of security policies, the scanning process is limited in scope and focused only on comparing the current state of the system against a predetermined baseline of expected configurations and vulnerabilities.

This limitation is significant because the absence of customized security policies can leave potential security gaps unaddressed. While the initial scan will still help identify the baseline security posture, it does not take into account any of the specific risks or configuration needs that might be present in a particular environment. The result is that without these policies in place, the system may lack comprehensive protection measures tailored to its specific security needs.

The other choices imply actions that would generally require predefined policies. Enhancements to security features, active protection modes, and enabling data theft protection typically rely on specific configurations and protocols being established first. Without creating policies, these features cannot be activated or tailored effectively to address the unique threat landscape the systems may face.
