Thanks for answering my question!

 

May I ask a (little shorter 😉 ) Follow-Up question? Are the Teams working on the Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management development syncing with the teams working on Windows Update driver deployment? As an Intune admin I'll keep on getting reports of missing driver, firmware and bios updates from my security colleagues (which is great, kudos to Defender). Would be even greater if Autopatch has all the updates available that Defender is asking for. Is this a scenario Microsoft is or will be providing in the future? Like "Defender and Intune using the same database for the newest / most secure version of drivers, firmwares and bios updates"?

 

Love to the talk. Thanks a lot!

Keep in mind that most drivers aren't provided by Microsoft. Most drivers in WUfB are published and maintained by the vendors/OEMs so closing the described gap here is entirely incumbent on the vendors/OEMs and thus really a question better posed to them.

    Jason_Sandys Thank you, that makes sense. Guess we have to hope OEMs are handing over updates to Microsoft sooner in the future. Is Microsoft involved in this process by any means? Pushing OEMs to publish updates when Defender is reporting missing updates that havn't been transfered to Windows Update?
