Security News > 2020 > October > Microsoft Defender ATP adds vulnerable Windows device tracking
The Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection endpoint security platform now provides users with a new report designed to help them keep track of vulnerable Windows and macOS devices within their organization's environment.
The vulnerable devices report displays graphs with statistics and details on currently vulnerable device trends with the end goal of making it easier for IT administrators to grasp the scope and breadth of device exposure within the organization.
"You can filter the data by vulnerability severity levels, exploit availability, vulnerability age, operating system platform, Windows 10 version, or device group," Microsoft explains.
The report is in public preview starting today and admins can access it by going to Reports > Vulnerable devices in the Microsoft Defender Security Center after toggling on preview features.
Starting with July, Microsoft Defender ATP also added the Microsoft Secure Score for Devices feature that can evaluate the collective security configuration state of devices on an enterprise network.
