On virtual machine VM1, Microsoft Defender for Cloud shows a high-severity recommendation: 'Install endpoint protection solutions on virtual machine.' What action should you take to resolve this recommendation for VM1?

The recommendation "Install endpoint protection solutions on virtual machine" in Microsoft Defender for Cloud is best resolved by onboarding the VM to Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. Defender for Endpoint provides comprehensive endpoint protection, including antivirus, EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response), and vulnerability management, which directly addresses the high-severity recommendation. Adding the Microsoft Antimalware extension is a basic antivirus solution but doesn't offer the full suite of protection capabilities that Defender for Endpoint provides, so it might not fully resolve the high-severity recommendation. Installing System Center Security Management Pack for Endpoint Protection is an on-premises solution and not directly relevant for cloud-native endpoint protection within Azure. Adding the Network Watcher Agent is for network monitoring and diagnostics, not endpoint protection.
