Five years ago it was almost the only way to see what you need to do to find and mitigate misconfigurations and that way enhance the security score in Defender for Cloud\u00a0 (of course, The Inventory showed also something and regulatory compliances).\u00a0<\/p><p>In those days I usually asked someone to download this report from the customer Azure since I didn&#8217;t have user accounts and then sorted it out and made a roadmap how to mitigate these.\u00a0 After that we had a meeting with a potential customer and I usually got the job. And the rest is history.\u00a0<\/p><p>So let&#8217;s start with Security Recommendations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a61abd8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a61abd8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Overview of Security Recommendations<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5cd72f4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5cd72f4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Microsoft Defender for Cloud&#8217;s aka MDC resources and workloads are assessed against built-in and custom security standards enabled in your Azure subscriptions, AWS accounts, and GCP projects. Based on those assessments, security recommendations provide practical steps to remediate security issues, and improve security posture.<\/p><p>There are different features in Security Recommendations plane depending which <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/defender-for-cloud\/concept-cloud-security-posture-management#plan-availability\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">CSPM plan<\/span><\/a> you use.
