Microsoft is dispensing with the Office 365 Admin Center in favor of the Microsoft 365 Admin Center, which will be the new default management portal for organizations using Office 365 services, according to this Microsoft Tech Community post. There's also a 'configuration score' that compares device configurations with security best practices. Users get an 'exposure score,' showing the state of devices with respect to vulnerabilities.

It'll report 'misconfigurations' and similar issues, such as configurations that use the insecure Server Message Block 1 protocol or client devices with disabled antivirus software.

The TVM solution provides 'actionable mitigation recommendations' for both Microsoft and non-Microsoft applications. 'Devices onboarded to Microsoft Defender ATP automatically report and push vulnerability and security configuration data to the dashboard,' Microsoft's post explained. The TVM service doesn't require the installation of an agent as client devices report back their state. 'We plan to expand this capability to other IT security management platforms,' the post indicated. Microsoft is open to supporting other management systems as well with TVM. The 'built-in remediation' aspect of TVM takes place when TVM is associated with either the Microsoft Intune PC and mobile management solution or System Center Configuration Manager. TVM is a 'discovery, prioritization and remediation' solution to address device 'endpoint vulnerabilities and misconfigurations,' according to a Microsoft Tech Community post. There's also a preview coming 'within the next month' of a new capability in Microsoft Defender ATP that's called 'Threat and Vulnerability Management' (TVM).
