The Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection Configuration score gives you visibility and control over the security posture of your organization based on security best practices. High configuration score means your endpoints are more resilient from cybersecurity threat attacks.
Your Configuration score is visible in the Threat & Vulnerability Management dashboard of the Microsoft Defender Security Center. It reflects the collective security configuration state of your machines across the following categories:

Due to the current partial Intune support, configurations which might have been set through Intune might show up as misconfigured. Contact your IT Administrator to verify the actual configuration status in case your organization is using Intune for secure configuration management.

The data in the configuration score card is the product of meticulous and ongoing vulnerability discovery process aggregated with configuration discovery assessments that continuously:
- Compare collected configurations to the collected benchmarks to discover misconfigured assets
- Map configurations to vulnerabilities that can be remediated or partially remediated (risk reduction) by remediating the misconfiguration
- Collect and maintain best practice configuration benchmarks (vendors, security feeds, internal research teams)

From the widget, you'd be able to see which security aspect requires attention. You can click the configuration score categories and it will take you to the **Security recommendations** page to see more details and understand the context of the issue. From there, you can act on them based on security benchmarks.
## Improve your configuration score
The goal is to remediate the issues in the security recommendations list to improve your configuration score. You can filter the view based on:
- **Related component** — **Accounts**, **Application**, **Network**, **OS**, or **Security controls**
- **Remediation type** — **Configuration change** or **Software update**
