# Securing Azure with Microsoft Defender
## When to Use
- When deploying cloud workload protection across Azure subscriptions and resource groups
- When establishing a Secure Score baseline and prioritizing security recommendations
- When extending threat protection to multi-cloud environments including AWS and GCP
- When enabling container security for AKS clusters and Azure Container Registry
- When integrating AI workload security with the Data and AI security dashboard
**Do not use** for AWS-only environments (see implementing-aws-security-hub), for identity provider configuration (see managing-cloud-identity-with-okta), or for network-level firewall rule management (see implementing-cloud-waf-rules).
