A Microsoft Entra tenant named fabrikam.onmicrosoft.com that syncs with corp.fabrikam.com

A single Azure subscription named Sub1

A virtual network named Vnet1 in the East US Azure region

A virtual network named Vnet2 in the West Europe Azure region

An instance of Azure Front Door named FD1 that has Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF) enabled

A Microsoft Sentinel workspace

An Azure SQL database named ClaimsDB that contains a table named ClaimDetails

20 virtual machines that are configured as application servers and are NOT onboarded to Microsoft Defender for Cloud
A resource group named TestRG that is used for testing purposes only

An Azure Virtual Desktop host pool that contains personal assigned session hosts

All the resources in Sub1 are in either the East US or the West Europe region.

Existing Environment. Partners
Fabrikam has contracted a company named Contoso, Ltd. to develop applications. Contoso has the following infrastructure:
A Microsoft Entra tenant named contoso.onmicrosoft.com

An Amazon Web Services (AWS) implementation named ContosoAWS1 that contains AWS EC2 instances used to host test workloads for the applications of Fabrikam Developers at Contoso will connect to the resources of Fabrikam to test or update applications. The developers will be added to a security group named ContosoDevelopers in fabrikam.onmicrosoft.com that will be assigned to roles in Sub1.
The ContosoDevelopers group is assigned the db_owner role for the ClaimsDB database.

Existing Environment. Compliance Environment
Fabrikam deploys the following compliance environment:
Defender for Cloud is configured to assess all the resources in Sub1 for compliance to the HIPAA HITRUST standard.
Currently, resources that are noncompliant with the HIPAA HITRUST standard are remediated manually.

Qualys is used as the standard vulnerability assessment tool for servers.

Existing Environment. Problem Statements
The secure score in Defender for Cloud shows that all the virtual machines generate the following recommendation: Machines should have a vulnerability assessment solution.
All the virtual machines must be compliant in Defender for Cloud.
