A while back I had the incredible fortune to collaborate with Inbal Silis and Bojan Magusic on this blog post, summarizing the learnings we saw with customers that used Microsoft Defender for Cloud to improve the Security Posture of their workloads in different Clouds.
The purpose of this article is to provide organizations with a comprehensive understanding of all the agents and resources deployed as part of Defender for Server, Defender for Container, Defender for SQL in their AWS/GCP environment by Defender for Cloud. The article aims to guide organizations on the impact of Defender for Cloud on their environment and what they need to remove when switching Defender for Cloud plans on the security connector. Where possible this article should avoid duplicating information that is already available on Microsoft Learn and focus on providing information that is not publicly available or documented on Microsoft Learn.
