Endpoint security is crucial for protecting organizations from cyber threats. However, managing endpoint agents can be challenging, especially when devices are missing critical security software.
This article explores how to identify and manage endpoints with missing agents using tools like Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and Intune.
To identify devices with missing agents, you can use queries like the following:
textlet targetAgent = "<SOFTWARENAMESTRING>";
let activeDevices = DeviceLogonEvents
| where TimeGenerated > ago(7d)
| where LogonType == "Interactive"
| where AccountDomain =~ "<DOMAIN>"
| distinct DeviceName;
DeviceTvmSoftwareInventory
| where DeviceName in~ (activeDevices)
| summarize Software = tostring(make_set(SoftwareName)) by DeviceName
| where Software !has targetAgent
For multiple agents:
textlet targetAgents = dynamic(["Agent1", "Agent2"]);
let activeDevices = DeviceLogonEvents
| where TimeGenerated > ago(7d)
| where LogonType == "Interactive"
| where AccountDomain == "<DOMAIN>"
| distinct DeviceName;
DeviceTvmSoftwareInventory
| where DeviceName in~ (activeDevices)
| summarize Software = make_set(SoftwareName) by DeviceName
| extend MissingAgents = set_difference(targetAgents, Software)
| project-away Software
Identifying endpoints with missing agents is crucial for maintaining robust security.
By leveraging tools like Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and Intune, organizations can proactively manage security gaps and ensure all devices are adequately protected.
Regular monitoring and custom queries can help identify and address issues before they become significant security risks.
