# Manage actions related to automated investigation and remediation
# View details and results of automated investigations
The Action center aggregates all investigations that require an action for an investigation to proceed or be completed.
Pending and completed [remediation actions](manage-auto-investigation.md#remediation-actions) are listed in the **Action center** ([https://securitycenter.windows.com/action-center](https://securitycenter.windows.com/action-center)) and the **Investigations** page ([https://securitycenter.windows.com/investigations](https://securitycenter.windows.com/investigations)).
![Image of Action center page](images/action-center.png)
>[!NOTE]
>If your organization has implemented role-based access to manage portal access, only authorized users or user groups who have permission to view the machine or machine group will be able to view the entire investigation.
The action center consists of two main tabs:
- Pending actions - Displays a list of ongoing investigations that require attention. A recommended action is presented to the analyst, which they can approve or reject.
- History - Acts as an audit log for:
- All actions taken by AutoIR or approved by an analyst with ability to undo actions that support this capability (for example, quarantine file).
- All commands ran and remediation actions applied in Live Response with ability to undo actions that support this capability.
- Remediation actions applied by Windows Defender AV with ability to undo actions that support this capability.
## The Action center
Use the Customize columns drop-down menu to select columns that you'd like to show or hide.
![Action center page](images/action-center.png)
The action center consists of two main tabs, as described in the following table.

By default, the automated investigations list displays investigations initiated in the last week. You can also choose to select other time ranges from the drop-down menu or specify a custom range.
Use the **Customize columns** menu to select columns that you'd like to show or hide.
From this view, you can also download the entire list in CSV format using the **Export** feature, specify the number of items to show per page, and navigate between pages.
### Filters for the list of investigations
>[!NOTE]
>The tab will only appear if there are pending actions for that category.
On the **Investigations** page, you can view details and use filters to focus on specific information. The following table lists available filters:
### Approve or reject an action
You'll need to manually approve or reject pending actions on each of these categories for the automated actions to proceed.
|Filter |Description |
|---------|---------|
|**Status** |(See [Automated investigation status](#automated-investigation-status)) |
|**Triggering alert** | The alert that initiated the automated investigation |
|**Detection source** |The source of the alert that initiated the automated investigation. |
|**Entities** | These can include device or machines, and machine groups. You can filter the automated investigations list to zone in a specific machine to see other investigations related to the machine, or to see specific machine groups that you might have created. |
|**Threat** |The category of threat detected during the automated investigation. |
|**Tags** |Filter using manually added tags that capture the context of an automated investigation.|
|**Comments** |Select between filtering the list between automated investigations that have comments and those that don't.|
Selecting an investigation from any of the categories opens a panel where you can approve or reject the remediation. Other details such as file or service details, investigation details, and alert details are displayed.

## View details about an automated investigation
![Image of investigation details window](images/atp-analyze-auto-ir.png)
You can view the details of an automated investigation to see information such as the investigation graph, alerts associated with the investigation, the machine that was investigated, and other information.
In this view, you'll see the name of the investigation, when it started and ended.
### Investigation graph
The investigation graph provides a graphical representation of an automated investigation. All investigation related information is simplified and arranged in specific sections. Clicking on any of the icons brings you the relevant section where you can view more information.
A progress ring shows two status indicators:
- Orange ring - shows the pending portion of the investigation
- Green ring - shows the running time portion of the investigation
![Image of start, end, and pending time for an automated investigation](images/atp-auto-investigation-pending.png)
In the example image, the automated investigation started on 10:26:59 AM and ended on 10:56:26 AM. Therefore, the entire investigation was running for 29 minutes and 27 seconds.
The pending time of 16 minutes and 51 seconds reflects two possible pending states: pending for asset (for example, the device might have disconnected from the network) or pending for approval.
From this view, you can also view and add comments and tags about the investigation.
### Alerts
The **Alerts** tab for an automated investigation shows details such as a short description of the alert that initiated the automated investigation, severity, category, the machine associated with the alert, user, time in queue, status, investigation state, and who the investigation is assigned to.
Additional alerts seen on a machine can be added to an automated investigation as long as the investigation is ongoing.
Selecting an alert using the check box brings up the alerts details pane where you have the option of opening the alert page, manage the alert by changing its status, see alert details, automated investigation details, related machine, logged-on users, and comments and history.
Clicking on an alert title brings you the alert page.
### Machines
The **Machines** tab Shows details the machine name, IP address, group, users, operating system, remediation level, investigation count, and when it was last investigated.
Machines that show the same threat can be added to an ongoing investigation and will be displayed in this tab. If 10 or more machines are found during this expansion process from the same entity, then that expansion action will require an approval and will be seen in the **Pending actions** view.
Selecting a machine using the checkbox brings up the machine details pane where you can see more information such as machine details and logged-on users.
Clicking on an machine name brings you the machine page.
### Evidence
The **Evidence** tab shows details related to threats associated with this investigation.
### Entities
The **Entities** tab shows details about entities such as files, process, services, drives, and IP addresses. The table details such as the number of entities that were analyzed. You'll gain insight into details such as how many are remediated, suspicious, or determined to be clean.
### Log
The **Log** tab gives a chronological detailed view of all the investigation actions taken on the alert. You'll see the action type, action, status, machine name, description of the action, comments entered by analysts who may have worked on the investigation, execution start time, duration, pending duration.
As with other sections, you can customize columns, select the number of items to show per page, and filter the log.
Available filters include action type, action, status, machine name, and description.
You can also click on an action to bring up the details pane where you'll see information such as the summary of the action and input data.
### Pending actions
If there are pending actions on an automated investigation, you'll see a pop up similar to the following image.

> Secure score is now part of Threat & Vulnerability Management as Configuration score.
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:
Your configuration score widget shows the collective security configuration state of your machines across the following categories:

## How it works
>[!NOTE]
> Configuration score currently supports configurations set via Group Policy. 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 widget 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)
- Collect and monitor changes of security control configuration state from all assets
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.

# Learn about the automated investigations dashboard
By default, the automated investigations list displays investigations initiated in the last week. You can also choose to select other time ranges from the drop-down menu or specify a custom range.
# Review and approve actions following an automated investigation
>[!NOTE]
>If your organization has implemented role-based access to manage portal access, only authorized users or user groups who have permission to view the machine or machine group will be able to view the entire investigation.
## Remediation actions
Use the **Customize columns** drop-down menu to select columns that you'd like to show or hide.
When an automated investigation runs, a verdict is generated for each piece of evidence investigated. Verdicts can be *Malicious*, *Suspicious*, or *Clean*. Depending on the type of threat and resulting verdict, remediation actions occur automatically or upon approval by your organization’s security operations team. For example, some actions, such as removing malware, are taken automatically. Other actions require review and approval to proceed.
From this view, you can also download the entire list in CSV format using the **Export** button, specify the number of items to show per page, and navigate between pages. You also have the flexibility to filter the list based on your preferred criteria.
When a verdict of *Malicious* is reached for a piece of evidence, Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection takes one of the following remediation actions automatically:
- Quarantine file
- Remove registry key
- Kill process
- Stop service
- Remove registry key
- Disable driver
- Remove scheduled task
![Image of Auto investigations page](images/atp-auto-investigations-list.png)
Evidence determined as *Suspicious* results in pending actions that require approval. As a best practice, make sure to [approve (or reject) pending actions](#review-pending-actions) as soon as possible. This helps your automated investigations complete in a timely manner.
No actions are taken when evidence is determined to be *Clean*.
In Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection, all verdicts are [tracked and viewable in the Microsoft Defender Security Center](#review-completed-actions).
## Review pending actions
1. Go to the Microsoft Defender Security Center ([https://securitycenter.windows.com](https://securitycenter.windows.com)) and sign in. This takes you to your Security dashboard.
2. On the Security dashboard, in the navigation pane on the left, choose **Automated investigations** > **Action center**.
3. Review any items on the **Pending** tab.
Selecting an investigation from any of the categories opens a panel where you can approve or reject the remediation. Other details such as file or service details, investigation details, and alert details are displayed. From the panel, you can click on the **Open investigation page** link to see the investigation details.
You can also select multiple investigations to approve or reject actions on multiple investigations.
## Review completed actions

# Overview of Secure score in Microsoft Defender Security Center
**Applies to:**
- [Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection (Microsoft Defender ATP)](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=2069559)
>[!NOTE]
> Secure score is now part of [Threat & Vulnerability Management](next-gen-threat-and-vuln-mgt.md) as [Configuration score](configuration-score.md). The secure score page will be available for a few weeks.
The Secure score dashboard expands your visibility into the overall security posture of your organization. From this dashboard, you'll be able to quickly assess the security posture of your organization, see machines that require attention, as well as recommendations for actions to further reduce the attack surface in your organization - all in one place. From there you can take action based on the recommended configuration baselines.
>[!IMPORTANT]
> This feature is available for machines on Windows 10, version 1703 or later.
The **Secure score dashboard** displays a snapshot of:
- Microsoft secure score
- Secure score over time
- Top recommendations
- Improvement opportunities
![Secure score dashboard](images/new-secure-score-dashboard.png)
## Microsoft secure score
The Microsoft secure score tile is reflective of the sum of all the security controls that are configured according to the recommended Windows baseline and Office 365 controls. It allows you to drill down into each portal for further analysis. You can also improve this score by taking the steps in configuring each of the security controls in the optimal settings.
![Image of Microsoft secure score tile](images/mss.png)
Each Microsoft security control contributes 100 points to the score. The total number is reflective of the score potential and calculated by multiplying the number of supported Microsoft security controls (security controls pillars) by the maximum points that each pillar contributes (maximum of 100 points for each pillar).
The Office 365 Secure Score looks at your settings and activities and compares them to a baseline established by Microsoft. For more information, see [Introducing the Office 365 Secure Score](https://support.office.com/article/introducing-the-office-365-secure-score-c9e7160f-2c34-4bd0-a548-5ddcc862eaef#howtoaccess).
In the example image, the total points for the security controls and Office 365 add up to 602 points.
You can set the baselines for calculating the security control scores on the Secure score dashboard through the **Settings**. For more information, see [Enable Secure score security controls](enable-secure-score.md).
## Secure score over time
You can track the progression of your organizational security posture over time using this tile. It displays the overall score in a historical trend line enabling you to see how taking the recommended actions increase your overall security posture.
![Image of the security score over time tile](images/new-ssot.png)
You can mouse over specific date points to see the total score for that security control is on a specific date.
## Top recommendations
Reflects specific actions you can take to significantly increase the security stance of your organization and how many points will be added to the secure score if you take the recommended action.
![Top recommendations tile](images/top-recommendations.png)
## Improvement opportunities
Improve your score by taking the recommended improvement actions listed on this tile. The goal is to reduce the gap between the perfect score and the current score for each control.
Clicking on the affected machines link at the top of the table takes you to the Machines list. The list is filtered to reflect the list of machines where improvements can be made.
![Improvement opportunities](images/io.png)
Within the tile, you can click on each control to see the recommended optimizations.
Clicking the link under the **Misconfigured machines** column opens up the **Machines list** with filters applied to show only the list of machines where the recommendation is applicable. You can export the list in Excel to create a target collection and apply relevant policies using a management solution of your choice.
