Install endpoint protection solution on virtual machines

We have defender as the antivirus software which is already installed on the virtual machines, but why does Azure Advisor - Security states that we need to "Install endpoint protection solution on virtual machines " ?

Hi, Just adding to the chorus of people with this issue. I'm having the same issue which is bringing the security score down by 2%. Can we please have a remediation for this? I note it is not affecting all VM's. Possibly an issue with older extensions?

Same for me. I'm expected to improve our score, but can't get past this problem.

For those who are relying on the DFC policy "Endpoint protection should be installed on your machines" I am currently working on a new policy that will actually tell you if A.) Its installed B.) Its enabled C:) Provisioning sate -eq "Successful" Microsoft seems to be continually releasing policies that are half-baked and not reliable. This is putting customers at risk of breaching compliance and risking security. Absolutely unacceptible.
