Hi @Chase Fopiano

Form the explanation, these are Operating system recommendations based on these MCSB compute security baselines. Defender for Cloud uses Microsoft Cloud Security Benchmark (MCSB) which is the default initiative to assesses and enforces best-practice security configurations.

The recommendations related to OS misconfigurations and I am sharing this document which outlines how to review recommendations made by the Microsoft Cloud Security Benchmark (MCSB)assessment.

• Review and remediate OS baseline recommendations
