Microsoft Defender for Cloud is very good at allowing users to see how their Azure environment is secure through the secure score. The recommendations are an excellent source of the controls that should be in place to ensure a secure environment. There needs to be more protection and features for data security.

SUSE
SUSE NeuVector is exceptional when you want to make your Kubernetes cluster secure. You can limit network connections, scan containers, container registries and Kubernetes nodes for vulnerable software, forbid running specific commands on certain or all containers. You can enable security for individual containers - when SUSE NeuVector has learned container specifics. That's why you can deploy SUSE NeuVector on production Kubernetes clusters where you are already running conteiners - it will not break anything.

It is a great product that integrates nicely when running an Azure platform and even multi-cloud environment. Not looking for point-solutions but a suite that answers most requirements. It is very comfortable being able to use KQL, workbooks and automation that is native to the azure platform

SUSE NeuVector is deployed on your Kubernetes, and data does not leave your data center. Sysdig is a cloud platform - you have no full control over what happens with your data. Also, SUSE NeuVector has a capability to prevent specific command execution ir containers, but Sysdig does not have such ability. Sysdig is not an open-source solution, but SUSE NeuVector is.

Return on Investment
Microsoft
  • It simplifies security management and saves time. I'm not sure, but I'm very confident it saved me a couple of paychecks by centralizing the data I need to secure the cloud environment.
  • I also utilize the inventory overview to monitor my team's activities and verify they are following internal regulations, as well as cost overruns.
  • The recommendations can be utilized as a valuable instructional tool. I have the team explain why they are receiving them, why they are not following them, and what they are doing differently.
