Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Defender for Cloud

We use Microsoft Defender for implementing DevSecOps solutions for secure code development and security operations for one of the biggest retail companies acquired by Amazon. Defender for Cloud helps in making sure we implement the best possible security baselines and controls for building a secure application. In addition, a free CSPM solution is a great addition to the security toolset.
  • Helps build secure cloud-based applications.
  • Implementation of good security posture by using free CSPM capabilities.
  • Early detection of potential threats to the application and the architecture.
  • Better training and documentation for implementing and using the tool.
  • Custom user policies can be implemented with more ease.
  • Scanning and protecting the GenAI and LLM-based applications.
  • Integration with OWASP LLM top-10 vulnerabilities can be very helpful.
  • Great ROI. Security is the biggest investment for any organization right now.
  • Integrating with other Microsoft tools is very easy, and these tools are widely used across the industry.
We have both on-prem resources and resources on Azure and AWS cloud.
The number of threat alerts initially increased which is the case with any alerting tool but after fine-tuning the detection, we have lesser and more impactful alerts which actually need triaging and dive-deep analysis.
Yes. Approximately $350K is saved by using Microsoft Defender for the cloud.

Defender for Cloud is well suited for organizations that have SaaS-based applications and cloud architecture. Since all the architecture is within the same environment, it is very easy for the security guardians to detect, prevent, and mitigate the underlying security risks. The customer impact with such developed focused solutions is very minimal and that makes this product great.
