I would like to understand how frequently Microsoft Defender for Cloud refreshes its security recommendations.

How long does it typically take for a newly applicable security recommendation to appear in the Defender for Cloud portal?

  1. How frequently are recommendation assessments refreshed after changes are made to Azure resources?

I would appreciate any official documentation explaining the recommendation refresh frequency and assessment update process.

Thank you.
