Ensure that 'Agentless scanning for machines' component status is set to 'On'
Why This Matters
Agentless scanning provides critical visibility into your virtual machines without requiring installed agents. By turning off this feature, you risk missing vulnerabilities, malware, and exposed secrets that attackers could exploit. Enabling agentless scanning in Defender for Cloud strengthens your overall security posture by catching threats early.
What Aether365 Checks
