This article describes the network connections that Windows 10 components make to Microsoft and the Mobile Device Management/Configuration Service Provider (MDM/CSP) and custom Open Mobile Alliance Uniform Resource Identifier ([OMA URI](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/custom-settings-windows-10)) policies available to IT Professionals using Microsoft Intune to help manage the data shared with Microsoft. If you want to minimize connections from Windows to Microsoft services, or configure privacy settings, there are a number of settings for consideration. For example, you can configure diagnostic data to the lowest level for your edition of Windows and evaluate other connections Windows makes to Microsoft services you want to turn off using the instructions in this article. While it is possible to minimize network connections to Microsoft, there are many reasons why these communications are enabled by default, such as updating malware definitions and maintaining current certificate revocation lists. This data helps us deliver a secure, reliable, and up-to-date experience.

Note: The 1903 settings in the Windows Restricted Traffic Limited Functionality Baseline package are applicable to 1909 Windows Enterprise devices.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: If a user executes the "Reset this PC" command (Settings -> Update & Security -> Recovery) with the "Keep my files" option the Windows Restricted Traffic Limited Functionality Baseline settings will need to be re-applied to in order re-restrict the device. Also, egress traffic may occur during the period leading up to the re-applications of the Restricted Traffic Limited Functionality Baseline settings.

CRL and OCSP checks are made to the issuing certificate authorities. Microsoft is one of these authorities. There are many others such as DigiCert, Thawte, Google, Symantec, and VeriSign.

## Reduce your threat and vulnerability exposure
|
||||
|
||||
Threat & Vulnerability Management introduces a new exposure score metric, which visually represents how exposed your machines are to imminent threats.
|
||||
|
||||
The exposure score is continuously calculated on each device in the organization and influenced by the following factors:
|
||||
|
||||
- Weaknesses, such as vulnerabilities discovered on the device
|
||||
- External and internal threats such as public exploit code and security alerts
|
||||
- Likelihood of the device to get breached given its current security posture
|
||||
- Value of the device to the organization given its role and content
|
||||
|
||||
The exposure score is broken down into the following levels:
|
||||
|
||||
- 0–29: low exposure score
|
||||
- 30–69: medium exposure score
|
||||
- 70–100: high exposure score
|
||||
|
||||
You can remediate the issues based on prioritized security recommendations to reduce the exposure score. Each software has weaknesses that are transformed into recommendations and prioritized based on risk to the organization.
|
||||
|
||||
To lower down your threat and vulnerability exposure:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Review the **Top security recommendations** from your **Threat & Vulnerability Management dashboard**, and select the first item on the list. The **Security recommendation** page opens.
|
||||
|
||||
There are two types of recommendations:
|
||||
|
||||
- *Security update* which refers to recommendations that require a package installation
|
||||
- *Configuration change* which refers to recommendations that require a registry or GPO modification
|
||||
|
||||
Always prioritize recommendations that are associated with ongoing threats:
|
||||
|
||||
-  Threat insight icon
|
||||
-  Active alert icon
|
||||
|
||||
>
|
||||
|
||||
2. The **Security recommendations** page shows the list of items to remediate. Select the security recommendation that you need to investigate. When you select a recommendation from the list, a fly-out panel will display a description of what you need to remediate, number of vulnerabilities, associated exploits in machines, number of exposed machines and their machine names, business impact, and a list of CVEs. Click **Open software page** option from the flyout panel. 
|
||||
|
||||
3. Click **Installed machines** and select the affected machine from the list to open the flyout panel with the relevant machine details, exposure and risk levels, alert and incident activities. 
|
||||
|
||||
4. Click **Open machine page** to connect to the machine and apply the selected recommendation. See [Investigate machines in the Microsoft Defender ATP Machines list](investigate-machines.md) for details. 
|
||||
|
||||
5. Allow a few hours for the changes to propagate in the system.
|
||||
|
||||
6. Review the machine **Security recommendation** tab again. The recommendation you've chosen to remediate is removed from the security recommendation list, and the exposure score decreases.
|
||||
|
||||
## Improve your security configuration
|
||||
|
||||
>[!NOTE]
|
||||
> Secure score is now part of Threat & Vulnerability Management as [Configuration score](configuration-score.md).
|
||||
|
||||
You can improve your security configuration when you remediate issues from the security recommendations list. As you do so, your configuration score improves, which means your organization becomes more resilient against cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities.
|
||||
|
||||
1. From the Configuration score widget, select **Security controls**. The **Security recommendations** page opens and shows the list of issues related to security controls.
|
||||
|
||||
>
|
||||
|
||||
2. Select the first item on the list. The flyout panel will open with a description of the security controls issue, a short description of the potential risk, insights, configuration ID, exposed machines, and business impact. Click **Remediation options**.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
3. Read the description to understand the context of the issue and what to do next. Select a due date, add notes, and select **Export all remediation activity data to CSV** so you can attach it to the email that you can send to your IT Administrator for follow-up.
|
||||
|
||||
>.
|
||||
|
||||
You will see a confirmation message that the remediation task has been created.
|
||||
>
|
||||
|
||||
4. Save your CSV file.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
5. Send a follow-up email to your IT Administrator and allow the time that you have allotted for the remediation to propagate in the system.
|
||||
|
||||
6. Review the machine **Configuration score** widget again. The number of the security controls issues will decrease. When you click **Security controls** to go back to the **Security recommendations** page, the item that you have addressed will not be listed there anymore, and your configuration score should increase.
|
||||
|
||||
## Request a remediation
|
||||
|
||||
>[!NOTE]
|
||||
>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.

||||
The Threat & Vulnerability Management capability in Microsoft Defender ATP bridges the gap between Security and IT Administrators through the remediation request workflow.
|
||||
|
||||
Security Administrators like you can request for the IT Administrator to remediate a vulnerability from the **Security recommendation** pages to Intune.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click a security recommendation you would like to request remediation for, and then click **Remediation options**.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Select **Open a ticket in Intune (for AAD joined devices)**, select a due date, and add optional notes for the IT Administrator. Click **Submit request**.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Notify your IT Administrator about the new request and have them log into Intune to approve or reject the request and start a package deployment.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Go to the **Remediation** page to view the status of your remediation request.
|
||||
|
||||
See [Use Intune to remediate vulnerabilities identified by Microsoft Defender ATP](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/atp-manage-vulnerabilities) for details.
|
||||
|
||||
>[!NOTE]
|
||||
>If your request involves remediating more than 10,000 machines, we can only send 10,000 machines for remediation to Intune.
|
||||
|
||||
## File for exception
|
||||
|
||||
With Threat & Vulnerability Management, you can create exceptions for recommendations, as an alternative to a remediation request.
|
||||
|
||||
There are many reasons why organizations create exceptions for a recommendation. For example, if there's a business justification that prevents the company from applying the recommendation, the existence of a compensating or alternative control that provides as much protection than the recommendation would, a false positive, among other reasons.
|
||||
|
||||
Exceptions can be created for both *Security update* and *Configuration change* recommendations.
|
||||
|
||||
When an exception is created for a recommendation, the recommendation is no longer active. The recommendation state changes to **Exception**, and it no longer shows up in the security recommendations list.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Navigate to the **Security recommendations** page under the **Threat & Vulnerability Management** section menu.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Click the top-most recommendation. A flyout panel opens with the recommendation details.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Click **Exception options**.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
4. Select your justification for the exception you need to file instead of remediating the security recommendation in question. Fill out the justification context, then set the exception duration.
|
||||
|
||||
> 
|
||||
|
||||
5. Click **Submit**. A confirmation message at the top of the page indicates that the exception has been created.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
6. Navigate to the **Remediation** page under the **Threat & Vulnerability Management** menu and click the **Exceptions** tab to view all your exceptions (current and past).

## Find and remediate software or software versions which have reached end-of-support (EOS)
|
||||
|
||||
End-of-support (otherwise known as end-of-life) for software or software versions means that they will no longer be supported or serviced. When you use software or software versions which have reached end-of-support, you're exposing your organization to security vulnerabilities, legal, and financial risks.
|
||||
|
||||
It is crucial for Security and IT Administrators to work together and ensure that the organization's software inventory is configured for optimal results, compliance, and a healthy network ecosystem.

|
||||
|
||||
## How it works
|
||||
|
||||
Several factors affect your organization exposure score:
|
||||
Threat & Vulnerability Management introduces a new exposure score metric, which visually represents how exposed your machines are to imminent threats.
|
||||
|
||||
- Weakness discovered on the device
|
||||
- Likelihood of a device getting breached
|
||||
- Value of the device to the organization
|
||||
- Relevant alert discovered on the device
|
||||
The exposure score is continuously calculated on each device in the organization and influenced by the following factors:
|
||||
|
||||
- Weaknesses, such as vulnerabilities discovered on the device
|
||||
- External and internal threats such as public exploit code and security alerts
|
||||
- Likelihood of the device to get breached given its current security posture
|
||||
- Value of the device to the organization given its role and content
|
||||
|
||||
The exposure score is broken down into the following levels:
|
||||
|
||||
- 0–29: low exposure score
|
||||
- 30–69: medium exposure score
|
||||
- 70–100: high exposure score
|
||||
|
||||
You can remediate the issues based on prioritized [security recommendations](tvm-security-recommendation.md) to reduce the exposure score. Each software has weaknesses that are transformed into recommendations and prioritized based on risk to the organization.
|
||||
|
||||
## Reduce your threat and vulnerability exposure
|
||||
|
||||
To lower your threat and vulnerability exposure, follow these steps.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Review the **Top security recommendations** from your [**Threat & Vulnerability Management dashboard**](tvm-dashboard-insights.md) , and select the first item on the list. The **Security recommendation** page opens.
|
||||
|
||||
Always prioritize recommendations that are associated with ongoing threats:
|
||||
|
||||
-  Threat insight icon
|
||||
-  Active alert icon
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
2. The **Security recommendations** page shows the list of items to remediate. Select the security recommendation that you need to investigate. When you select a recommendation from the list, a fly-out panel will display a description of what you need to remediate, number of vulnerabilities, associated exploits in machines, number of exposed machines and their machine names, business impact, and a list of CVEs. Click **Open software page** option from the flyout panel. 
|
||||
|
||||
3. Select **Installed machines** and then the affected machine from the list. A flyout panel will open with the relevant machine details, exposure and risk levels, alert and incident activities. 
|
||||
|
||||
4. Click **Open machine page** to connect to the machine and apply the selected recommendation. See [Investigate machines in the Microsoft Defender ATP Machines list](investigate-machines.md) for details. 
|
||||
|
||||
5. Allow a few hours for the changes to propagate in the system.
|
||||
|
||||
6. Review the machine **Security recommendation** tab again. The recommendation you've chosen to remediate is removed from the security recommendation list, and the exposure score decreases.
|
||||
|
||||
Reduce the exposure score by addressing what needs to be remediated based on the prioritized security recommendations. See [Security recommendations](tvm-security-recommendation.md) for details.

## Request remediation
|
||||
|
||||
The Threat & Vulnerability Management capability in Microsoft Defender ATP bridges the gap between Security and IT Administrators through the remediation request workflow. Security Administrators like you can request for the IT Administrator to remediate a vulnerability from the **Security recommendation** pages to Intune.
|
||||
|
||||
### Enable Microsoft Intune connection
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
See [Use Intune to remediate vulnerabilities identified by Microsoft Defender ATP](https://docs.microsoft.com/intune/atp-manage-vulnerabilities) for details.
|
||||
|
||||
### Remediation request steps
|
||||
|
||||
1. Select a security recommendation you would like to request remediation for, and then select **Remediation options**.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Fill out the form, including what you are requesting remediation for, priority, due date, and optional notes. Select **Submit request**. Submitting a remediation request creates a remediation activity item within Threat & Vulnerability Management, which can be used for monitoring the remediation progress for this recommendation. This will not trigger a remediation or apply any changes to machines.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Notify your IT Administrator about the new request and have them log into Intune to approve or reject the request and start a package deployment.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Go to the [**Remediation**](tvm-remediation.md) page to view the status of your remediation request.
|
||||
|
||||
>[!NOTE]
|
||||
>If your request involves remediating more than 10,000 machines, we can only send 10,000 machines for remediation to Intune.
|
||||
|
||||
## File for exception
|
||||
|
||||
With Threat & Vulnerability Management, you can create exceptions for recommendations, as an alternative to a remediation request.
|
||||
|
||||
There are many reasons why organizations create exceptions for a recommendation. For example, if there's a business justification that prevents the company from applying the recommendation, the existence of a compensating or alternative control that provides as much protection than the recommendation would, a false positive, among other reasons.
|
||||
|
||||
Exceptions can be created for both *Security update* and *Configuration change* recommendations.
|
||||
|
||||
When an exception is created for a recommendation, the recommendation is no longer active. The recommendation state changes to **Exception**, and it no longer shows up in the security recommendations list.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Select a security recommendation you would like create an exception for, and then **Exception options**.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
2. Select your justification for the exception you need to file instead of remediating the security recommendation in question. Fill out the justification context, then set the exception duration.
|
||||
|
||||
> 
|
||||
|
||||
3. Select **Submit**. A confirmation message at the top of the page indicates that the exception has been created.
|
||||

|
||||
|

4. Navigate to the [**Remediation**](tvm-remediation.md) page under the **Threat & Vulnerability Management** menu and click the **Exceptions** tab to view all your exceptions (current and past).

This is the case even if [Windows Defender Antivirus](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-antivirus/windows-defender-antivirus-in-windows-10) is not your active antivirus protection.

Windows Defender Antivirus is automatically enabled and installed on endpoints and devices that are running Windows 10.
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
However, on endpoints and devices that are protected with a non-Microsoft antivirus or antimalware app, Windows Defender Antivirus will automatically disable itself.
|
||||
Windows Defender Antivirus is automatically enabled and installed on endpoints and devices that are running Windows 10. But what happens when another antivirus/antimalware solution is used? It depends on whether you're using [Microsoft Defender ATP](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection) together with your antivirus protection.
|
||||
- When endpoints and devices are protected with a non-Microsoft antivirus/antimalware solution, and Microsoft Defender ATP is not used, Windows Defender Antivirus automatically goes into disabled mode.
|
||||
- If your organization is using Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection (Microsoft Defender ATP) together with a non-Microsoft antivirus/antimalware solution, then Windows Defender Antivirus automatically goes into passive mode. (Real time protection and and threats are not remediated by Windows Defender Antivirus.)
|
||||
- If your organization is using Microsoft Defender ATP together with a non-Microsoft antivirus/antimalware solution, and you have [shadow protection (currently in private preview)](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-antivirus/shadow-protection), then Windows Defender Antivirus runs in the background and blocks/remediates malicious items that are detected, such as during a post-breach attack.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are also using Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection, then Windows Defender Antivirus will enter a passive mode. Important: Real time protection and and threats will not be remediated by Windows Defender Antivirus.
