hi,

can anyone please tell me why does the following Azure Policy Configure machines to receive a vulnerability assessment provider https://www.azadvertizer.net/azpolicyadvertizer/13ce0167-8ca6-4048-8e6b-f996402e3c1b.html has two options for the parameter vaType ?

There's just literally one available anyway:

So what's the difference between the value of 'default' vs 'mdeTvm' ?

    Hi,

    The policy most likely was published when Qualys was still available for Defender for Cloud as Vulnerability assessment agent. Defender for Cloud moved to their own agent. You should use this new agent so the value is mdeTvm.
