Remediate security recommendations in 1 click

Azure Security Center provides unified security management and advanced threat protection across hybrid cloud workloads. Using advanced analytics, it helps you detect potentially malicious activity across your hybrid cloud workloads, and recommends potential remediation steps, which you can then evaluate, and take the necessary action.

One of the main features of Azure Security Center is that offers prioritized and actionable security recommendations so you can remediate security vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by attackers. To simplify remediation of security issues now allows you to remediate a recommendation on multiple resources with a single click.

• Quick access to 1-click fix
  The 1-click fix label is shown next to the recommendations that offer this faster remediation tool.
• Logging for transparency
  All remediation actions are logged in the activity log.

How to use 1-click remediation

Once you click the “1-click Fix !” Label, the recommendation information page will pen. Select the affected resources and click Remediate

A final window will open that will inform you about the action that will be performed and what will affect. Check the information and if you agree click the final “Remediation” button
