| MC941863: Microsoft Secure Score: Changing Microsoft Defender for Endpoint recommendation |
| More Information |
|---|
We're updating the Microsoft Secure Score improvement action of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (MDE) to ensure a more accurate representation of security posture. As part of this change, we will gradually retire the MDE recommendation on SCID-2020, Turn on all system-level Exploit protection settings. We are working to refine the recommendation, ensuring it aligns more accurately with recommended policies and enhances the overall security value. When this will happen:General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High, DoD): We will begin rolling out early December 2024 and expect to complete by early January 2025. How this will affect your organization:The Turn on all system-level Exploit protection settings recommendation will be completely removed from the UI, and the score will be changed in accordance. This update is available by default. What you need to do to prepare:This rollout will happen automatically with no admin action required. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation as appropriate. |
