Applies to:

• Microsoft Defender XDR
• Microsoft Defender for Endpoint

The DeviceTvmSecureConfigurationAssessmentKB table in the advanced hunting schema contains information about the various secure configurations checked by Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management. It also includes risk information, related industry benchmarks, and applicable MITRE ATT&CK techniques and tactics.

This table doesn't return events or records. We recommend joining this table to the DeviceTvmSecureConfigurationAssessment table using ConfigurationId to view text information about the security configurations in the returned assessments.

For example, when you query the DeviceTvmSecureConfigurationAssessment table you might want to view the ConfigurationDescription for the security configurations that come up in the assessment results. You can see this information by joining this table to DeviceTvmSecureConfigurationAssessment using ConfigurationId and project ConfigurationDescription.

For information on other tables in the advanced hunting schema, see the advanced hunting reference.

Column name	Data type	Description
ConfigurationId	string	Unique identifier for a specific configuration
ConfigurationImpact	real	Rated impact of the configuration to the overall configuration score (1-10)
ConfigurationName	string	Display name of the configuration
ConfigurationDescription	string	Description of the configuration
RiskDescription	string	Description of the associated risk
ConfigurationCategory	string	Category or grouping to which the configuration belongs: Application, OS, Network, Accounts, Security controls

You can try this example query to return relevant configuration metadata along with information on devices with non-compliant antivirus configurations from the DeviceTvmSecureConfigurationAssessment table:

// Get information on devices with antivirus configurations issues
DeviceTvmSecureConfigurationAssessment
| where ConfigurationSubcategory == 'Antivirus' and IsApplicable == 1 and IsCompliant == 0
| join kind=leftouter (
    DeviceTvmSecureConfigurationAssessmentKB
    | project ConfigurationId, ConfigurationName, ConfigurationDescription, RiskDescription, Tags, ConfigurationImpact
) on ConfigurationId
| project DeviceName, OSPlatform, ConfigurationId, ConfigurationName, ConfigurationCategory, ConfigurationSubcategory, ConfigurationDescription, RiskDescription, ConfigurationImpact, Tags
