Get-XdrXspmChokePoint
SYNOPSIS
Retrieves choke point data from Microsoft Defender XDR XSPM.
SYNTAX
Get-XdrXspmChokePoint [[-Top] <Int32>] [[-Skip] <Int32>] [-All] [-Force] [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>]
[<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
Gets choke point information from the XSPM (Extended Security Posture Management) attack surface API. Choke points are critical nodes in the network that appear in multiple attack paths, making them high-value targets for security hardening and monitoring. The results are ordered by risk level (Critical, High, Medium, Low) and attack path count. Supports pagination and can retrieve all available choke points when using the -All parameter. This function includes caching support with a 30-minute TTL to reduce API calls.
EXAMPLES
EXAMPLE 1
Get-XdrXspmChokePoint
Retrieves the first 100 choke points, ordered by risk level and attack path count.
EXAMPLE 2
Get-XdrXspmChokePoint -Top 50
Retrieves the first 50 choke points.
EXAMPLE 3
Get-XdrXspmChokePoint -Top 100 -Skip 100
Retrieves choke points 101-200 (pagination).
EXAMPLE 4
Get-XdrXspmChokePoint -All
Retrieves all available choke points by automatically handling pagination.
EXAMPLE 5
Get-XdrXspmChokePoint -All -Force
Retrieves all choke points, bypassing the cache.
