# Work with advanced hunting query results
**Applies to:**
- [Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection (Microsoft Defender ATP)](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=2069559)
>Want to experience Microsoft Defender ATP? [Sign up for a free trial.](https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/windows/microsoft-defender-atp?ocid=docs-wdatp-advancedhunting-abovefoldlink)
[!INCLUDE [Prerelease information](../../includes/prerelease.md)]
While you can construct your [advanced hunting](advanced-hunting-overview.md) queries to return very precise information, you can also work with the query results to gain further insight and investigate specific activities and indicators. You can take the following actions on your query results:
- View results as a table or chart
- Export tables and charts
- Drill down to detailed entity information
- Tweak your queries directly from the results or apply filters
## View query results as a table or chart
By default, advanced hunting displays query results as tabular data. You can also display the same data as a chart. Advanced hunting supports the following views:
| View type | Description |
| -- | -- |
| **Table** | Displays the query results in tabular format |
| **Column chart** | Renders a series of unique items on the x-axis as vertical bars whose heights represent numeric values from another field |
| **Stacked column chart** | Renders a series of unique items on the x-axis as stacked vertical bars whose heights represent numeric values from one or more other fields |
| **Pie chart** | Renders sectional pies representing unique items. The size of each pie represents numeric values from another field. |
| **Donut chart** | Renders sectional arcs representing unique items. The length of each arc represents numeric values from another field. |
| **Line chart** | Plots numeric values for a series of unique items and connects the plotted values |
| **Scatter chart** | Plots numeric values for a series of unique items |
| **Area chart** | Plots numeric values for a series of unique items and fills the sections below the plotted values |
### Construct queries for effective charts
When rendering charts, advanced hunting automatically identifies columns of interest and the numeric values to aggregate. To get meaningful charts, construct your queries to return the specific values you want to see visualized. Here are some sample queries and the resulting charts.
#### Alerts by severity
Use the `summarize` operator to obtain a numeric count of the values you want to chart. The query below uses the `summarize` operator to get the number of alerts by severity.
```kusto
DeviceAlertEvents
| summarize Total = count() by Severity
```
When rendering the results, a column chart displays each severity value as a separate column:
![Image of advanced hunting query results displayed as a column chart](images/advanced-hunting-column-chart.jpg)
*Query results for alerts by severity displayed as a column chart*
#### Alert severity by operating system
You could also use the `summarize` operator to prepare results for charting values from multiple fields. For example, you might want to understand how alert severities are distributed across operating systems (OS).
The query below uses a `join` operator to pull in OS information from the `DeviceInfo` table, and then uses `summarize` to count values in both the `OSPlatform` and `Severity` columns:
```kusto
DeviceAlertEvents
| join DeviceInfo on DeviceId
| summarize Count = count() by OSPlatform, Severity
```
These results are best visualized using a stacked column chart:
![Image of advanced hunting query results displayed as a stacked chart](images/advanced-hunting-stacked-chart.jpg)
*Query results for alerts by OS and severity displayed as a stacked chart*
#### Top ten machine groups with alerts
If you're dealing with a list of values that isn’t finite, you can use the `Top` operator to chart only the values with the most instances. For example, to get the top ten machine groups with the most alerts, use the query below:
```kusto
DeviceAlertEvents
| join DeviceInfo on DeviceId
| summarize Count = count() by MachineGroup
| top 10 by Count
```
Use the pie chart view to effectively show distribution across the top groups:
![Image of advanced hunting query results displayed as a pie chart](images/advanced-hunting-pie-chart.jpg)
*Pie chart showing distribution of alerts across machine groups*
#### Malware detections over time
Using the `summarize` operator with the `bin()` function, you can check for events involving a particular indicator over time. The query below counts detections of an EICAR test file at 30 minute intervals to show spikes in detections of that file:
```kusto
DeviceEvents
| where ActionType == "AntivirusDetection"
| where SHA1 == "3395856ce81f2b7382dee72602f798b642f14140"
| summarize Detections = count() by bin(Timestamp, 30m)
```
The line chart below clearly highlights time periods with more detections of the test malware:
![Image of advanced hunting query results displayed as a line chart](images/advanced-hunting-line-chart.jpg)
*Line chart showing the number of detections of a test malware over time*
## Export tables and charts
After running a query, select **Export** to save the results to local file. Your chosen view determines how the results are exported:
- **Table view** — the query results are exported in tabular form as a Microsoft Excel workbook
- **Any chart** — the query results are exported as a JPEG image of the rendered chart
## Drill down from query results
To view more information about entities, such as machines, files, users, IP addresses, and URLs, in your query results, simply click the entity identifier. This opens a detailed profile page for the selected entity.
## Tweak your queries from the results
Right-click a value in the result set to quickly enhance your query. You can use the options to:
- Explicitly look for the selected value (`==`)
- Exclude the selected value from the query (`!=`)
- Get more advanced operators for adding the value to your query, such as `contains`, `starts with` and `ends with`
![Image of advanced hunting result set](images/advanced-hunting-results-filter.png)
## Filter the query results
The filters displayed to the right provide a summary of the result set. Each column has its own section that lists the distinct values found for that column and the number of instances.
Refine your query by selecting the `+` or `-` buttons on the values that you want to include or exclude and then selecting **Run query**.
![Image of advanced hunting filter](images/advanced-hunting-filter.png)
Once you apply the filter to modify the query and then run the query, the results are updated accordingly.

# Attack surface reduction frequently asked questions (FAQ)
**Applies to:**
* [Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection (Microsoft Defender ATP)](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=2069559)
**Is attack surface reduction (ASR) part of Windows?**
ASR was originally a feature of the suite of exploit guard features introduced as a major update to Windows Defender Antivirus, in Windows 10 version 1709. Windows Defender Antivirus is the native antimalware component of Windows. However, please note that the full ASR feature-set is only available with a Windows enterprise license. Also note that ASR rule exclusions are managed separately from Windows Defender Antivirus exclusions.
**Do I need to have an enterprise license to run ASR rules?**
The full set of ASR rules and features are only supported if you have an enterprise license for Windows 10. A limited number of rules may work without an enterprise license, if you have Microsoft 365 Business, set Windows Defender Antivirus as your primary security solution, and enable the rules through PowerShell. However, ASR usage without an enterprise license is not officially supported and the full feature-set of ASR will not be available.
**Is ASR supported if I have an E3 license?**
Yes. ASR is supported for Windows Enterprise E3 and above. See [Use attack surface reduction rules in Windows 10 Enterprise E3](attack-surface-reduction-rules-in-windows-10-enterprise-e3.md) for more details.
**Which features are supported with an E5 license?**
All of the rules supported with E3 are also supported with E5.
E5 also added greater integration with Microsoft Defender ATP. With E5, you can [use Microsoft Defender ATP to monitor and review analytics](https://docs.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/security/mtp/monitor-devices?view=o365-worldwide#monitor-and-manage-asr-rule-deployment-and-detections) on alerts in real-time, fine-tune rule exclusions, configure ASR rules, and view lists of event reports.
**What are the the currently supported ASR rules??**
ASR currently supports all of the rules below:
* [Block executable content from email client and webmail](attack-surface-reduction.md#block-executable-content-from-email-client-and-webmail)
* [Block all Office applications from creating child processes](attack-surface-reduction.md#block-all-office-applications-from-creating-child-processes)
* [Block Office applications from creating executable content](attack-surface-reduction.md#block-office-applications-from-creating-executable-content)
* [Block Office applications from injecting code into other processes](attack-surface-reduction.md#block-office-applications-from-injecting-code-into-other-processes)
* [Block JavaScript or VBScript from launching downloaded executable content](attack-surface-reduction.md##block-javascript-or-vbscript-from-launching-downloaded-executable-content)
* [Block execution of potentially obfuscated scripts](attack-surface-reduction.md#block-execution-of-potentially-obfuscated-scripts)
* [Block Win32 API calls from Office macro](attack-surface-reduction.md#block-win32-api-calls-from-office-macros)
* [Use advanced protection against ransomware](attack-surface-reduction.md#use-advanced-protection-against-ransomware)<!-- Note: Because the following link contains characters the validator is not expecting, it throws a warning that the bookmark does not exist. This is a false positive; the link correctly targets the heading, Block credential stealing from the Windows local security authority subsystem (lsass.exe), when selected -->
* [Block credential stealing from the Windows local security authority subsystem (lsass.exe)](attack-surface-reduction.md#block-credential-stealing-from-the-windows-local-security-authority-subsystem)
* [Block process creations originating from PSExec and WMI commands](attack-surface-reduction.md#block-process-creations-originating-from-psexec-and-wmi-commands)
* [Block untrusted and unsigned processes that run from USB](attack-surface-reduction.md#block-untrusted-and-unsigned-processes-that-run-from-usb)
* [Block executable files from running unless they meet a prevalence, age, or trusted list criteria](attack-surface-reduction.md#block-executable-files-from-running-unless-they-meet-a-prevalence-age-or-trusted-list-criterion)
* [Block Office communication applications from creating child processes](attack-surface-reduction.md#block-office-communication-application-from-creating-child-processes)
* [Block Adobe Reader from creating child processes](attack-surface-reduction.md#block-adobe-reader-from-creating-child-processes)
* [Block persistence through WMI event subscription](attack-surface-reduction.md#block-persistence-through-wmi-event-subscription)
**What are some good recommendations for getting started with ASR?**
It is generally best to first test how ASR rules will impact your organization before enabling them, by running them in audit mode for a brief period of time. While you are running the rules in audit mode, you can identify any line-of-business applications that might get blocked erroneously, and exclude them from ASR.
Larger organizations should consider rolling out ASR rules in "rings," by auditing and enabling rules in increasingly-broader subsets of devices. You can arrange your organization's devices into rings by using Intune or a Group Policy management tool.
**How long should I test an ASR rule in audit mode before enabling it?**
You should keep the rule in audit mode for about 30 days. This amount of time gives you a good baseline for how the rule will operate once it goes live throughout your organization. During the audit period, you can identify any line-of-business applications that might get blocked by the rule, and configure the rule to exclude them.
**I'm making the switch from a third-party security solution to Microsoft Defender ATP. Is there an "easy" way to export rules from another security solution to ASR?**
Rather than attempting to import sets of rules from another security solution, it is, in most cases, easier and safer to start with the baseline recommendations suggested for your organization by Microsoft Defender ATP, then use tools such as audit mode, monitoring, and analytics to configure your new solution to suit your unique needs. The default configuration for most ASR rules, combined with Defender's real-time protection, will protect against a large number of exploits and vulnerabilities.
From within Microsoft Defender ATP, you can update your defenses with custom indicators, to allow and block certain software behaviors. ASR also allows for some customization of rules, in the form of file and folder exclusions. As a general rule, it is best to audit a rule for a period of time, and configure exclusions for any line-of-business applications that might get blocked.
**Does ASR support file or folder exclusions that include system variables and wildcards in the path?**
Yes. See [Excluding files and folders from ASR rules](enable-attack-surface-reduction.md#exclude-files-and-folders-from-asr-rules) for more details on excluding files or folders from ASR rules, and [Configure and validate exclusions based on file extension and folder location](../windows-defender-antivirus/configure-extension-file-exclusions-windows-defender-antivirus.md#use-wildcards-in-the-file-name-and-folder-path-or-extension-exclusion-lists) for more on using system variables and wildcards in excluded file paths.
**Do ASR rules cover all applications by default?**
It depends on the rule. Most ASR rules cover the behavior of Microsoft Office products and services, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote, or Outlook. Certain ASR rules, such as *Block execution of potentially obfuscated scripts*, are more general in scope.
**Does ASR support third-party security solutions?**
ASR uses Microsoft Defender Antivirus to block applications. It is not possible to configure ASR to use another security solution for blocking at this time.
**I have an E5 license and enabled some ASR rules in conjunction with Microsoft Defender ATP. Is it possible for an ASR event to not show up at all in Microsoft Defender ATP's event timeline?**
Whenever a notification is triggered locally by an ASR rule, a report on the event is also sent to the Microsoft Defender ATP portal. If you're having trouble finding the event, you can filter the events timeline using the search box. You can also view ASR events by visiting **Go to attack surface management**, from the **Configuration management** icon in the Security Center taskbar. The attack surface management page includes a tab for report detections, which includes a full list of ASR rule events reported to Microsoft Defender ATP.
**I applied a rule using GPO. Now when I try to check the indexing options for the rule in Microsoft Outlook, I get a message stating, 'Access denied'.**
Try opening the indexing options directly from Windows 10.
1. Select the **Search** icon on the Windows taskbar.
1. Enter **Indexing options** into the search box.
**Are the criteria used by the rule, *Block executable files from running unless they meet a prevalence, age, or trusted list criterion*, configurable by an admin?**
No. The criteria used by this rule are maintained by Microsoft cloud protection, to keep the trusted list constantly up-to-date with data gathered from around the world. Local admins do not have write access to alter this data. If you are looking to configure this rule to tailor it for your enterprise, you can add certain applications to the exclusions list to prevent the rule from being triggered.
**I enabled the ASR rule, *Block executable files from running unless they meet a prevalence, age, or trusted list criterion*. After some time, I updated a piece of software, and the rule is now blocking it, even though it didn't before. Did something go wrong?**
This rule relies upon each application having a known reputation, as measured by prevalence, age, or inclusion on a list of trusted apps. The rule's decision to block or allow an application is ultimately determined by Microsoft cloud protection's assessment of these criteria.
Usually, cloud protection can determine that a new version of an application is similar enough to previous versions that it does not need to be re-assessed at length. However, it might take some time for the app to build reputation after switching versions, particularly after a major update. In the meantime, you can add the application to the exclusions list, to prevent this rule from blocking important applications. If you are frequently updating and working with very new versions of applications, you may opt instead to run this rule in audit mode.
**I recently enabled the ASR rule, *Block credential stealing from the Windows local security authority subsystem (lsass.exe)*, and I am getting a large number of notifications. What is going on?**
A notification generated by this rule does not necessarily indicate malicious activity; however, this rule is still useful for blocking malicious activity, since malware often target lsass.exe to gain illicit access to accounts. The lsass.exe process stores user credentials in memory after a user has logged in. Windows uses these credentials to validate users and apply local security policies.
Because many legitimate processes throughout a typical day will be calling on lsass.exe for credentials, this rule can be especially noisy. If a known legitimate application causes this rule to generate an excessive amount of notifications, you can add it to the exclusion list. Most other ASR rules will generate a relatively smaller number of notifications, in comparison to this one, since calling on lsass.exe is typical of many applications' normal functioning.
**Is it a good idea to enable the rule, *Block credential stealing from the Windows local security authority subsystem (lsass.exe)*, alongside LSA protection?**
Enabling this rule will not provide additional protection if you have [LSA protection](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-server/security/credentials-protection-and-management/configuring-additional-lsa-protection#BKMK_HowToConfigure) enabled as well. Both the rule and LSA protection work in much the same way, so having both running at the same time would be redundant. However, sometimes you may not be able to enable LSA protection. In those cases, you can enable this rule to provide equivalent protection against malware that target lsass.exe.

Attack surface reduction rules help prevent behaviors malware often uses to infect computers with malicious code. You can set attack surface reduction rules for computers running Windows 10, versions 1709 and 1803 or later, Windows Server, version 1803 (Semi-Annual Channel) or later, or Windows Server 2019.
Your attack surface is the total number of places where an attacker could compromise your organization's devices or networks. Reducing your attack surface means offering attackers fewer ways to perform attacks.
To use the entire feature set of attack surface reduction rules, you need a Windows 10 Enterprise license. With a Windows E5 license you get advanced management capabilities including monitoring, analytics, and workflows available in [Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection](microsoft-defender-advanced-threat-protection.md), as well as reporting and configuration capabilities in the Microsoft 365 security center. These advanced capabilities aren't available with an E3 license, but you can use Event Viewer to review attack surface reduction rule events.
Attack surface reduction rules target software behaviors that are often abused by attackers, such as:
Attack surface reduction rules target behaviors that malware and malicious apps typically use to infect computers, including:
* Launching executable files and scripts that attempt to download or run files
* Running obfuscated or otherwise suspicious scripts
* Performing behaviors that apps don't usually initiate during normal day-to-day work
* Executable files and scripts used in Office apps or web mail that attempt to download or run files
* Obfuscated or otherwise suspicious scripts
* Behaviors that apps don't usually initiate during normal day-to-day work
These behaviors are sometimes seen in legitimate applications; however, they are considered risky because they are commonly abused by malware. Attack surface reduction rules can constrain these kinds of risky behaviors and help keep your organization safe.
You can use [audit mode](audit-windows-defender.md) to evaluate how attack surface reduction rules would impact your organization if they were enabled. It's best to run all rules in audit mode first so you can understand their impact on your line-of-business applications. Many line-of-business applications are written with limited security concerns, and they may perform tasks similar to malware. By monitoring audit data and [adding exclusions](enable-attack-surface-reduction.md#exclude-files-and-folders-from-asr-rules) for necessary applications, you can deploy attack surface reduction rules without impacting productivity.

Office VBA provides the ability to use Win32 API calls, which malicious code can abuse. Most organizations don't use this functionality, but might still rely on using other macro capabilities. This rule allows you to prevent using Win32 APIs in VBA macros, which reduces the attack surface.
This rule prevents VBA macros from calling Win32 APIs.
Office VBA provides the ability to make Win32 API calls. Malware can abuse this capability, such as [calling Win32 APIs to launch malicious shellcode](https://www.microsoft.com/security/blog/2018/09/12/office-vba-amsi-parting-the-veil-on-malicious-macros/) without writing anything directly to disk. Most organizations don't rely on the ability to call Win32 APIs in their day-to-day functioning, even if they use macros in other ways.

### Block credential stealing from the Windows local security authority subsystem (lsass.exe)
### Block credential stealing from the Windows local security authority subsystem
Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) authenticates users who log in to a Windows computer. Microsoft Defender Credential Guard in Windows 10 normally prevents attempts to extract credentials from LSASS. However, some organizations can't enable Credential Guard on all of their computers because of compatibility issues with custom smartcard drivers or other programs that load into the Local Security Authority (LSA). In these cases, attackers can use tools like Mimikatz to scrape cleartext passwords and NTLM hashes from LSASS. This rule helps mitigate that risk by locking down LSASS.

Attack surface reduction rules help prevent actions and apps that are typically used by exploit-seeking malware to infect machines. Attack surface reduction rules are supported on Windows Server 2019 as well as Windows 10 clients.
Attack surface reduction rules help prevent software behaviors that are often abused to compromise your device or network. For example, an attacker might try to run an unsigned script off of a USB drive, or have a macro in an Office document make calls directly to the Win32 API.

>To use this capability, enable your Microsoft Intune connections. Navigate to **Settings** > **General** > **Advanced features**. Scroll down and look for **Microsoft Intune connection**. By default, the toggle is turned off. Turn your **Microsoft Intune connection** toggle on.
After your organization's cybersecurity weaknesses are identified and mapped to actionable security recommendations, you can start creating security tasks through the integration with Microsoft Intune where remediation tickets are created.
After your organization's cybersecurity weaknesses are identified and mapped to actionable [security recommendations](tvm-security-recommendation.md), you can start creating security tasks through the integration with Microsoft Intune where remediation tickets are created.
You can lower down your organization's exposure from vulnerabilities and increase your security configuration by remediating the security recommendations.
Lower your organization's exposure from vulnerabilities and increase your security configuration by remediating the security recommendations.
## How remediation requests work
When you submit a remediation request from Threat & Vulnerability Management, it kicks-off a remediation activity. A security task is created which will be tracked in the Threat & Vulnerability Management **Remediation** page, and a remediation ticket is created in Microsoft Intune.
The dashboard will show the status of your top remediation activities. Select any of the entries to go to the **Remediation** page. You can mark the remediation activity as completed after the IT admin team remediates the task.
## Accessing the remediation page
## Navigate through your remediation options
You can access the remediation page in a few places in the portal:
- Security recommendation flyout panel
- Remediation in the navigation menu
- Top remediation activities widget in the dashboard
*Security recommendation flyout page*
<br>You'll see your remediation options when you select one of the security recommendation blocks from your **Top security recommendations** widget in the dashboard.
1. From the flyout panel, you'll see the security recommendation details including your next steps. Click **Remediation options**.
2. In the **Remediation options** page, select **Open a ticket in Intune (for AAD joined devices)**.
- Security recommendations flyout panel
- Navigation menu
- Top remediation activities in the dashboard
### Security recommendation flyout page
You'll see remediation options when you select one of the security recommendations in the [Security recommendations page](tvm-security-recommendation.md).
1. From the flyout panel, you'll see the security recommendation details including next steps. Select **Remediation options**.
2. In the **Remediation options** page, select **Open a ticket in Intune (for AAD joined devices)**.
3. Select a remediation due date.
4. Add notes to give your IT administrator a context of your remediation request. For example, you can indicate urgency of the remediation request to avoid potential exposure to a recent exploit activity, or if the request is a part of compliance.
>[!NOTE]
>If your request involves remediating more than 10,000 machines, we will only send 10,000 machines for remediation to Intune.
3. Select a remediation due date.
4. Add notes to give your IT administrator a context of your remediation request. For example, you can indicate urgency of the remediation request to avoid potential exposure to a recent exploit activity, or if the request is a part of compliance.
If you want to check how the ticket shows up in Intune, see [Use Intune to remediate vulnerabilities identified by Microsoft Defender ATP](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/atp-manage-vulnerabilities) for details.
*Remediation in the navigation menu*
1. Go to the Threat & Vulnerability Management navigation menu and select **Remediation** to open up the list of remediation activities and exceptions found in your organization. You can filter your view based on remediation type, machine remediation progress, and exception justification. If you want to see the remediation activities of software which have reached their end-of-life, select **Software uninstall** from the **Remediation type** filter. If you want to see the remediation activities of software and software versions which have reached their end-of-life, select **Software update** from the **Remediation type** filter. Select **In progress** then click **Apply**.
### Navigation menu
1. Go to the Threat & Vulnerability Management navigation menu and select **Remediation** to open up the list of remediation activities and exceptions found in your organization.
To see software which has reached end-of-support, select **Software uninstall** from the **Remediation type** filter. For specific software versions which have reached end-of-support, select **Software update** from the **Remediation type** filter. Select **In progress** then **Apply**.

2. Select the remediation activity that you want to view.
![Screenshot of the remediation page flyout for a software which reached end-of-support](images/remediation_flyouteolsw.png)
*Top remediation activities widget in the dashboard*
1. Go to the Threat & Vulnerability Management dashboard and scroll down to the **Top remediation activities** widget. The list is sorted and prioritized based on what is listed in the **Top security recommendations**.
2. Select the remediation activity that you need to see or process.
### Top remediation activities in the dashboard
## How it works
1. Go to the Threat & Vulnerability Management dashboard and scroll down to the **Top remediation activities** card. The list is sorted and prioritized based on what is listed in the **Top security recommendations**.
2. Select the remediation activity that you want to view.
When you submit a remediation request from Threat & Vulnerability Management, it kicks-off a remediation activity.
It creates a security task which will be tracked in Threat & Vulnerability Management **Remediation** page, and it also creates a remediation ticket in Microsoft Intune.
## Exception options
The dashboard will show that status of your top remediation activities. Click any of the entries and it will take you to the **Remediation** page. You can mark the remediation activity as completed after the IT administration team remediates the task.
You can file exceptions to exclude certain recommendation from showing up in reports and affecting your [configuration score](configuration-score.md).
## When to file for exception instead of remediating issues
You can file exceptions to exclude certain recommendation from showing up in reports and affecting your configuration score.
When you select a security recommendation, it opens up a flyout screen with details and options for your next step. You can either **Open software page**, choose from **Remediation options**, go through **Exception options** to file for exceptions, or **Report inaccuracy**.
Select **Exception options** and a flyout screen opens.
When you select a [security recommendation](tvm-security-recommendation.md), it opens a flyout screen with details and options for your next steps. Select **Exception options** to fill out the justification and context.
![Screenshot of exception flyout screen](images/tvm-exception-flyout.png)
### Exception justification
If the security recommendation stemmed from a false positive report, or if there are existing business justification that blocks the remediation, such as compensating control, productivity needs, compliance, or if there's already a planned remediation grace period, you can file an exception and indicate the reason. The following list details the justifications behind the exception options:
- **Compensating/alternate control** - A 3rd party control that mitigates this recommendation exists, for example, if Network Firewall - - prevents access to a machine, third party antivirus
- **Productivity/business need** - Remediation will impact productivity or interrupt business-critical workflow
- **Accept risk** - Poses low risk and/or implementing a compensating control is too expensive
- **Planned remediation (grace)** - Already planned but is awaiting execution or authorization
- **Other** - False positive
![Screenshot of exception reason dropdown menu](images/tvm-exception-dropdown.png)
- **Compensating/alternate control** - A 3rd party control that mitigates this recommendation exists, for example, if Network Firewall - - prevents access to a machine, third party antivirus
- **Productivity/business need** - Remediation will impact productivity or interrupt business-critical workflow
- **Accept risk** - Poses low risk and/or implementing a compensating control is too expensive
- **Planned remediation (grace)** - Already planned but is awaiting execution or authorization
- **Other** - False positive
### Exception visibility
The exceptions you've filed will show up in the **Remediation** page, in the **Exceptions** tab.
However, you also have the option to filter your view based on exception justification, type, and status.
![Screenshot of exception reason dropdown menu](images/tvm-exception-dropdown.png)
### Where to find exceptions
The exceptions you've filed will show up in the **Remediation** page, in the **Exceptions** tab. You can filter your view based on exception justification, type, and status.
![Screenshot of exception tab and filters](images/tvm-exception-filters.png)
Aside from that, there's also an option to **Show exceptions** at the bottom of the **Top security recommendations** card in the dashboard.
You can also select **Show exceptions** at the bottom of the **Top security recommendations** card in the dashboard. Selecting the link opens a filtered view in the **Security recommendations** page of recommendations with an "Exception" status.
![Screenshot of Show exceptions link in the Top security recommendations card in the dashboard](images/tvm-exception-dashboard.png)
Clicking the link opens up to the **Security recommendations** page, where you can select the item exempted item with details.
### Exception actions and statuses
![Screenshot of exception details in the Security recommendation page](images/tvm-exception-details.png)
You can take the following actions on an exception:
### Actions on exceptions
- Cancel - You can cancel the exceptions you've filed any time
- Resurface - Your exception automatically becomes void and resurfaces in the security recommendation list when dynamic environmental factors change, which adversely affect the exposure impact associated with a recommendation that had previously been excluded
- Cancel - You can cancel the exceptions you've filed any time
- Resurface - Your exception automatically becomes void and resurfaces in the security recommendation list when dynamic environmental factors change, which adversely affect the exposure impact associated with a recommendation that had previously been excluded
### Exception status
- **Canceled** - The exception has been canceled and is no longer in effect
- **Expired** - The exception that you've filed is no longer in effect
- **In effect** - The exception that you've filed is in progress
The following statuses will be a part of an exception:
- **Canceled** - The exception has been canceled and is no longer in effect
- **Expired** - The exception that you've filed is no longer in effect
- **In effect** - The exception that you've filed is in progress
### Exception impact on scores
Creating an exception can potentially affect the Exposure Score (for both types of weaknesses) and Configuration Score (for configurations) of your organization in the following manner:
- **No impact** - Removes the recommendation from the lists (which can be reverse through filters), but will not affect the scores
- **Mitigation-like impact** - As if the recommendation was mitigated (and scores will be adjusted accordingly) when you select it as a compensating control.
- **Hybrid** - Provides visibility on both No impact and Mitigation-like impact. It shows both the Exposure Score and Configuration Score results out of the exception option that you made
- **No impact** - Removes the recommendation from the lists (which can be reverse through filters), but will not affect the scores
- **Mitigation-like impact** - As if the recommendation was mitigated (and scores will be adjusted accordingly) when you select it as a compensating control.
- **Hybrid** - Provides visibility on both No impact and Mitigation-like impact. It shows both the Exposure Score and Configuration Score results out of the exception option that you made
The exception impact shows on both the Security recommendations page column and in the flyout pane.
