    Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management

    Vulnerability ManagementMicrosoft SecurityEndpoint Security

    Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management is Microsoft's risk-based vulnerability management solution, built natively into the Microsoft Defender suite. It provides asset discovery, vulnerability assessment, and prioritised remediation guidance across Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and network devices. It is particularly valuable for organisations already standardised on Microsoft 365 Defender or Intune, as it integrates without additional agent deployment and feeds directly into existing Microsoft security operations and compliance workflows.
