Details:
We're updating Microsoft Secure Score improvement actions to ensure a more accurate representation of security posture. A new Microsoft Defender for Identity posture recommendation will be added: "Prevent Certificate Enrollment with arbitrary Application Policies (ESC15)".
Your score will be updated accordingly.

Please note that in order to provide the recommendation as quickly as possible, it will be introduced to your environment at the earliest opportunity rather than on the regular monthly schedule.
