-The cyber security weaknesses identified in your organization are mapped to actionable security recommendations and prioritized by their impact on the security recommendation list. Prioritized recommendation helps shorten the mean time to mitigate or remediate vulnerabilities and drive compliance.
+Cybersecurity weaknesses identified in your organization are mapped to actionable security recommendations and prioritized by their impact. Prioritized recommendation helps shorten the time to mitigate or remediate vulnerabilities and drive compliance.
 
-Each security recommendation includes an actionable remediation recommendation which can be pushed into the IT task queue through a built-in integration with Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager. It is also dynamic in the sense that when the threat landscape changes, the recommendation also changes as it continuously collects information from your environment.

-## The basis of the security recommendation
-Each machine in the organization is scored based on three important factors: threat, likelihood to be breached, and value, to help customers to focus on the right things at the right time.
+## Criteria
 
-- Threat - Characteristics of the vulnerabilities and exploits in your organizations' devices and breach history. Based on these factors, the security recommendations shows the corresponding links to active alerts, ongoing threat campaigns, and their corresponding threat analytic reports.

-1. Go to the Threat & Vulnerability Management navigation menu and select **Security recommendations** to open up the list of security recommendations for the threats and vulnerabilities found in your organization. It gives you an overview of the security recommendation context: weaknesses found, related components, the application and operating system where the threat or vulnerabilities were found, network, accounts, and security controls, associated breach, threats, and recommendation insights, exposed machine trends, status, remediation type and activities. 
-![Screenshot of Security recommendations page](images/tvmsecrec-updated.png)
+In a given day as a Security Administrator, you can take a look at the [Threat & Vulnerability Management dashboard](tvm-dashboard-insights.md) to see your [exposure score](tvm-exposure-score.md) side-by-side with your [configuration score](configuration-score.md). The goal is to **lower** your organization's exposure from vulnerabilities, and **increase** your organization's security configuration to be more resilient against cybersecurity threat attacks. The top security recommendations list can help you achieve that goal.
 
-    >[!NOTE]
-    > The color of the **Exposed machines** graph changes as the trend changes. If the number of exposed machines is on the rise, the color changes into red. If there's a decrease in the amount of exposed machines, the color of the graph will change into green. This happens when the numbers on the right hand side is greater than what’s on the left,  which means an increase or decrease at the end of even a single machine will change the graph's color.

-    You can filter your view based on related components, status, and remediation type. If you want to see the remediation activities of software and software versions which have reached their end-of-life, select **Active**, then select **Software update** from the **Remediation Type** filter, and click **Apply**.

-In a given day as a Security Administrator, you can take a look at the dashboard to see your exposure score side-by-side with your configuration score. The goal is to lower down your organization's exposure from vulnerabilities, and increase your organization's security configuration to be more resilient against cybersecurity threat attacks. The top security recommendations list can help you achieve that goal. 
+You will be able to view the recommendation, the number of weaknesses found, related components, threat insights, number of exposed machines, status, remediation type, remediation activities, impact to your exposure and configuration scores, and associated tags.

This happens when the numbers on the right hand side is greater than what's on the left,  which means an increase or decrease at the end of even a single machine will change the graph's color.
 
-You can click on each one of them and see the details, the description, the potential risk if you don't act on or remediate it, insights, vulnerabilities, other threats found, how many exposed devices are associated with the security recommendation, and business impact of each security recommendation on the organizational exposure and configuration score.

-From that page, you can do any of the following depending on what you need to do:
+Select the security recommendation that you want to investigate or process.
 
-- Open software page - Drill down and open the software page to get more context of the software details, prevalence in the organization, weaknesses discovered, version distribution, software or software version end-of-life, and charts so you can see the exposure trend over time.

-- Choose from remediation options - Submit a remediation request to open a ticket in Microsoft Intune for your IT Administrator to pick up and address.
+From the flyout, you can do any of the following:
 
-- Choose from exception options - Submit an exception, provide justification, and set exception duration if you can't remediate the issue just yet due to specific business reasons, compensation controls, or if it is a false positive.
