Enable Microsoft Defender for Cloud (CSPM + CWPP) across VMs, containers, SQL, storage, and Key Vault, using Azure Policy for evaluation, Log Analytics for telemetry, Azure Arc for hybrid coverage, and Logic Apps for automated response. Use for Azure security monitoring, adaptive remediation, or regulatory compliance assessment; not for non-Azure-only protection or identity defense (Defender for Identity).

# Implementing Azure Defender for Cloud
## When to Use
- When enabling comprehensive security monitoring across Azure subscriptions
- When implementing cloud workload protection for VMs, containers, SQL, storage, and Key Vault
- When compliance requirements demand continuous assessment against regulatory frameworks
- When building adaptive security controls that respond to detected threats
- When centralizing security findings from Azure-native and hybrid workloads
**Do not use** for non-Azure workload protection exclusively (use AWS Security Hub or GCP SCC), for application-level security testing (use Azure DevOps DAST/SAST), or for identity-specific protection (use Microsoft Defender for Identity).
## Prerequisites
