Enables the IT admin to push out a configuration representing the desired system and application mitigation options to all the devices in the organization. The configuration is represented by an XML. For more information Exploit Protection, see [Enable Exploit Protection on Devices](/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/enable-exploit-protection) and [Import, export, and deploy Exploit Protection configurations](/windows/threat-protection/windows-defender-exploit-guard/import-export-exploit-protection-emet-xml).
