It provides the following solutions to frequently cited gaps across security operations, security administration, and IT administration workflows and communication: Create a security task or ticket by integrating with Microsoft Intune and Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager. Vulnerability management is the first solution in the industry to bridge the gap between security administration and IT administration during remediation process. It's fully integrated with Microsoft endpoint security stack, the Microsoft Intelligent Security Graph, and the application analytics knowledge base. Threat and vulnerability management is built in, real time, and cloud powered. It prioritizes vulnerabilities based on the threat landscape, detections in your organization, sensitive information on vulnerable devices, and business context.

Threat and vulnerability management serves as an infrastructure for reducing organizational exposure, hardening endpoint surface area, and increasing organizational resilience.ĭiscover vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in real time with sensors, and without the need of agents or periodic scans. Unsurprisingly, Apple's documentation on the subject is festooned with dire warnings regarding its disabling.Effectively identifying, assessing, and remediating endpoint weaknesses is pivotal in running a healthy security program and reducing organizational risk. The latter is part of macOS and usually only disabled by developers in order to tinker with low-level code. It is also highly recommended that System Integrity Protection (SIP) be enabled. Supported macOS versions are Monterey (12), Big Sur (11), and Catalina (10.15+), and version 101.70.19 or above of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is needed. It can also be turned off completely if required. It's a useful update, and can be enabled using a MDM solution (we're sure Microsoft would be ever so pleased if people used Endpoint Manager, but something like Jamf Pro would work just as well).

"Later this year, we will offer a gradual rollout mechanism that will automatically switch endpoints to block mode," said Microsoft, although the mechanism will only apply if users have not specifically made a choice to either disable the capability or already switched on block mode. Monero-mining botnet targets Windows, Linux web servers.
