On-Premise Windows Defender Antivirus Solution for windows server 2022 estate - Management Off

For my 30 Wintel Server estate I want to protect my windows server 2022 servers with the included Defender AV (DAV) component.

Will keep that component maintained with WSUS.

Been advised I need to deploy on-premise Configuration Manager (CM) server to maintain Security policies for AV

Where do i collect alerts as I do not have a cloud integration, so no defender portal ?

Been told CM Management console is not god enough to maintain the overall DAV solution.

Been told it will not show DAV alerts from servers.

SO do I have to use a SCOM DAV management pack so i get my threat alerts. Is that where I should get alerts.

I assume then all CM will do is tell me if my DAV components are active on my servers and thats all.

How will it check that my servers DAV are up todate as I cannot connect my CM to the internet.

My restrictions are my only outside connection can be WSUS.

This seems a simple ask , I need to maintain and manage 30 servers AV solution and watch for alerts and threats.

Because of security no cloud integration.

All microsoft guides seem to assume that we have cloud integrations.

Beginning to think WSUS, AD and SCOM are all I need to run solution.

How useful is CM to me.

Confused how I should design this with the correct products as I have simple isolated solution requirements except for WSUS updates
