## 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](images/tvm_bug_icon.png) Threat insight icon
- ![Possible active alert](images/tvm_alert_icon.png) Active alert icon
>![Top security recommendations](images/tvm_security_recommendations.png)
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. ![Details in security recommendations page](images/tvm_security_recommendations_page.png)
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. ![Details in software page ](images/tvm_software_page_details.png)
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. ![Details in machine page](images/tvm_machine_page_details.png)
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.
>![Configuration score widget](images/tvm_config_score.png)
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**.
![Security controls related security recommendations](images/tvm_security_controls.png)

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

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**.
![Screenshot of the exception option in the remediation flyout pane](images/tvm-exception-option.png)
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.
> ![Screenshot of exception flyout page which details justification and context](images/tvm-exception-flyout.png)
5. Click **Submit**. A confirmation message at the top of the page indicates that the exception has been created.

## Conduct an inventory of software or software versions which have reached end-of-support (EOS)
## 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.
To conduct an inventory of software or software versions which have reached end-of-support:
To find software or software versions which have reached end-of-support:
1. From the Threat & Vulnerability Management menu, navigate to **Security recommendations**.
2. Go to the **Filters** panel and select **Software uninstall** from **Remediation Type** options to see the list of software recommendations associated with software which have reached end of support (tagged as **EOS software**).
3. Select **Software update** from **Remediation Type** options to see the list of software recommendations associated with software and software versions which have reached end-of-support (tagged as **EOS versions installed**).
4. Select software that you'd like to investigate. A fly-out screen opens where you can select **Open software page**.
![Screenshot of Security recommendation for a software that reached its end of life page](images/secrec_flyout.png)
2. Go to the **Filters** panel and look for the tags section. Select one or more of the EOS tag options. Then **Apply**.
