Microsoft Defender for Cloud Likes & Dislikes
It helps us to track the secure score of the cloud. We can get real time threat detection information about virtual machines in the org. MDC supports almost all the CSPs including major CSPs like GCP, AWS and Azure.
Microsoft provides Defender for Cloud as the default security solution for all cloud resources. The incidents created by the Defender for Cloud are pushed to the unified defender dashboard. It does not require a separate dashboard. Microsoft defender for cloud can be deployed on 3rd party cloud resources protecting those also.
The product provides a wide range of features, but some features such as compliance tracking and the ability to integrate it with other Microsoft products for better security management add more benefits in strong detection capabilities and suspicious activities for abnormal network traffic and risky workloads.
If policies are not configured properly then alerts will be more specifically false positives. If more resources are hosted then cost will increase hence included the resources appropriately.
The quality of incidents produced is of average quality and often contains false positives.
Some of the security recommendations can feel generic and also while working with products other than Microsoft, the experience is not as seamless as it gives with Microsoft products.
