-In a given day as a Security Administrator, you can take a look at the [vulnerability management dashboard](tvm-dashboard-insights.md) to see your [exposure score](tvm-exposure-score.md) side by side with your [Microsoft Secure Score for Devices](tvm-microsoft-secure-score-devices.md). The goal is to **lower** your organization's exposure from vulnerabilities, and **increase** your organization's device security to be more resilient against cybersecurity threat attacks.

 ## Security recommendations overview
 
-View recommendations, the number of weaknesses found, related components, threat insights, number of exposed devices, status, remediation type, remediation activities, impact to your  exposure score and Secure Score for Devices once the recommendation is implemented, and associated tags.
+Security recommendations enable you to view your organization's security recommendations, the number of weaknesses found, related components, threat insights, number of exposed devices, device status, remediation type, remediation activities, and associated tags. You can also see how your exposure score and Secure Score for devices would change when recommendations are implemented.
 
 The color of the **Exposed devices** graph changes as the trend changes. If the number of exposed devices is on the rise, the color changes to red. If there's a decrease in the number of exposed devices, the color of the graph will change to green.
