Your subscription uses Microsoft Defender for Cloud and you have 50 Windows Server Azure VMs. To ensure security exploit detections on the VMs are forwarded into Defender for Cloud, which VM extension should you install?

The Vulnerability assessment for machines extension is specifically designed to integrate with Microsoft Defender for Cloud to provide security exploit detections. It scans your VMs for vulnerabilities and forwards these findings to Defender for Cloud for analysis and reporting. The Microsoft Dependency agent is used for discovering process dependencies, not security exploits. The Log Analytics agent for Azure VMs collects performance and event logs, which can be used for security monitoring but doesn't directly provide exploit detection. The Guest Configuration agent enforces and audits configuration settings within the guest operating system, not for vulnerability scanning.
