Microsoft 365 Administrator Expert MS-102 Practice Question
In Microsoft Defender Exposure Management, you find an improvement action that recommends disabling legacy authentication. Because a critical line-of-business app still relies on legacy authentication, you mark the improvement action as "Risk accepted - will not fix" for 12 months. Which outcome should you expect immediately after saving the exception?
The recommendation is removed from Secure Score and Exposure Score computations, and it appears only under the exceptions filter.
All devices that rely on legacy authentication are moved to a restricted network segment by Microsoft Defender Firewall rules.
Defender automatically creates a remediation task in Microsoft Intune but freezes the score impact until the task is completed.
Secure Score remains unchanged, but the recommendation is highlighted in red as an acknowledged risk on every device timeline.
When an improvement action is set to Risk accepted - will not fix, Defender Exposure Management (formerly Threat & Vulnerability Management) excludes the recommendation from both Secure Score and Exposure Score calculations during the exception period. The recommendation and its related CVEs are still retained in the portal, but they are visible only when you filter for exceptions. Device exposure and pending improvement actions lists refresh within minutes to reflect the revised scores. No quarantine, enforcement, or automatic remediation is triggered; only the scoring and visibility change. Choosing to postpone or approve remediation would instead keep the item in scope and affect score differently.
