Description

In this episode, we dive into three key Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP) offerings within Microsoft Defender for Cloud: Defender for Resource Manager, Defender for Key Vault, and Defender for APIs. Our Q&A format explores how these tools safeguard Azure environments against sophisticated threats, from management layer exploits to API vulnerabilities.
Key Takeaways:



  • Defender for Resource Manager monitors and protects against suspicious operations in Azure's management layer.

  • Defender for Key Vault adds native threat protection to detect anomalous access to secrets and credentials.

  • Defender for APIs provides full lifecycle security for APIs in Azure API Management, including inventory, posture recommendations, and runtime threat detection.

  • These plans integrate seamlessly into Defender for Cloud's broader CNAPP framework for multi-cloud and hybrid protection.
