Hi mpellizzon​,

 

Yes, you are correct, but, 2016 os will require some additional basepacks, otherwise patch will stay open. Better to upgrade OS to next stable, in your case Windows 2019 or open support ticket with MS defender team to validate. There were few issues in 3.9, not just one reason,  CVE-2021-3737, CVE-2022-42919, better if you can share which affect you. This require careful evaluation. For ex, in 2016 SVR 3.12, has vulnerability,CVE-2024-12254
