Microsoft Defender for Endpoint provides users with a new report designed to help them identify and keep track of vulnerable Windows and Mac OS devices.

The report shows graphs and bar charts with vulnerable device trends and current statistics. The goal is for you to understand the breath and scope of your device exposure.
How to access new Vulnerable devices report?
In order to access the report in the Microsoft Defender Security Center, you simply need to enter into Reports > Vulnerable devices.
Here you’ll find two new columns:
- Trends – you may see the past 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, or a custom date range of your choice
- Today – this column reveals current information only
You’ll also be able to filter the data by exploit availability, vulnerability severity levels, vulnerability age, operating system platform, Windows 10 version, or device group.
Moreover, to further explore an insight, select the relevant bar chart to view a filtered list of devices in the Device inventory page. You may now export the list and continue your investigations.
