Overall Satisfaction with Azure Security Center
In the past, we had a number of security solutions that did not communicate with one other, and we often had no idea what the other one was doing. Using Azure Security Center, we can analyze, track, and address threats in our ecosystem from a single console. To provide complete security, we must be able to look into events and compare them across many products and providers.
- Automation is crucial to managing sprawl and the additional complexity that comes with it. SOC management workbooks and process automation give significant flexibility.
- The Security posture score and Security Alerts are neatly centralized and offer me crucial information quickly.
- Defender for Cloud avoids the common compromise of simplicity for completeness (former Azure Security Center). The security warnings and advice go into great detail while remaining current and useful.
- Navigating through the Azure portal with all the flyouts may be tedious, especially when time is of the essence.
- Adding cost estimates to security suggestions would be a great improvement.
- For the queries and workbooks, another language must be taught; it would have been ideal to keep it close to T-SQL or something similar to avoid learning new syntax.
- Tracking of Events.
- The suggestions are also vital. It pushes us to analyze why we are getting that advice, which is clearly important when creating a security policy.
- It's preventive, and it keeps security front of mind for the staff.
- 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.
Defender for Cloud (previously known as Azure Security Center) is a more comprehensive and extensive security solution. Currently, threat analytics make up only a small portion of the whole picture. It encourages a comprehensive picture of the cloud environment across all of its endpoints. For example, firewalls, virtual machine coverage, etc. When compared to the former Threat Analytics, the attack surface of Defender for Cloud is vastly expanded.
