As a Security Operations Center Analyst, your primary responsibility is to safeguard your organization’s applications and data by investigating and responding to threats.
However, increasingly complex cloud native applications have expanded attack surfaces, especially when cloud workloads span across multicloud and hybrid environments.
You need a Cloud Native Application Protection Platform that integrates with a unified security operations platform to help you detect and respond to threats, and this is where Microsoft Defender for Cloud and Microsoft Defender XDR come in.
Defender for Cloud
Microsoft Defender for Cloud is a cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) that is made up of security measures and practices that are designed to protect cloud-based applications from various cyber threats and vulnerabilities. Defender for Cloud combines the capabilities of:
- A development security operations (DevSecOps) solution that unifies security management at the code level across multicloud and multiple-pipeline environments.
- A cloud security posture management (CSPM) solution that surfaces actions that you can take to prevent breaches.
- A cloud workload protection platform (CWPP) with specific protections for servers, containers, storage, databases, and other workloads.
