I was reading through the Origins for N.O.W., and on Martial Artist it gives you the Training Exploit. The exploit reads +1 to all three defenses, but there are four defenses. Which one doesn't get the +1?
There used to only be Melee, Ranged, and Mental Defenses. Vital was added relatively late during development, and not all the exploits have been updated to account for it. If you want to run it as only 3, then Vital Defense would not be improved. That said, I would rule that it applies to all Defenses.
