Preface
Microsoft Defender for Cloud is a Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP) that has Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) capabilities and supports Azure, on-premises, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) resources.
Defender for Cloud covers three crucial requirements for workload and infrastructure security: defending, securing, and continuously assessing protected workloads:
- Defend: Helps you detect and resolve threats to services and resources.
- Secure: Recommendations help you prioritize hardening tasks to improve your security posture.
- Continuously assess: Your secure score is frequently refreshed to give you the current security situation.
In this book, you will find valuable but easy-to-follow steps to get started using Defender for Cloud, followed by more advanced protections, including multi-cloud protection, as well as adjacent security services integrated and used in Defender for Cloud.
