Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (MDE) must enable Full remediation for Device groups.
Overview
| Finding ID | Version | Rule ID | IA Controls | Severity |

| Description | ||||
| Malicious code protection mechanisms include, but are not limited to, antivirus and malware detection software. To minimize potential negative impact to the organization that can be caused by malicious code, it is imperative that malicious code is identified and eradicated. Full remediation is necessary to automatically investigate and remediate devices without human intervention which lowers SOC fatigue. This is also required for Attack Disruption. | ||||

Check Text (C-275998r1119728_chk)
Access the MDE portal as a user with at least an MDE Administrator or equivalent role:
1. In the navigation pane, select Settings >> Endpoints >> Device groups (under Permissions).
2. For all device groups: Verify the remediation column is set to Full remediation.
If the remediation column for all Device groups is not set to "Full remediation", this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-80041r1119406_fix)
Access the MDE portal as a user with at least an MDE Administrator or equivalent role:
1. In the navigation pane, select Settings >> Endpoints >> Device groups (under Permissions).
2. Enter each Device group and enable Full remediation.
