Ensure that Auto provisioning of 'Vulnerability assessment for machines' is Set to 'On'

Description:

Enable automatic provisioning of vulnerability assessment for machines on both Azure and hybrid (Arc enabled) machines.

Rationale:

Vulnerability assessment for machines scans for various security-related configurations and events such as system updates, OS vulnerabilities, and endpoint protection, then produces alerts on threat and vulnerability findings.

Additional licensing is required and configuration of Azure Arc introduces complexity beyond this recommendation.

From Azure Portal

1. From Azure Home select the Portal Menu
2. Select 'Microsoft Defender for Cloud'
3. Then 'Environment Settings'
4. Select a subscription
5. Then 'Auto Provisioning' in the left column.
6. Ensure that 'Vulnerability assessment for machines' is set to 'On'

Repeat the above for any additional subscriptions.
