Achieve Zero Trust objectives with Defender for Cloud and Defender EASM integrated with Defender XDR
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure’ expresses the simple logic behind the Defender for Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), Cloud Workload Protection (CWP), and External Attack Surface Management (EASM) features of Microsoft Defender XDR. In addition to your SIEM, which is reactive, every shop needs to have insight into misconfiguration issues and compliance risks in the cloud–a logical extension of Zero Trust policies.
What you’ll learn:
- How the multi-cloud features of Defender for Cloud continuously monitor cloud infrastructure including DevOps platforms for gaps in security policy enforcement across all clouds and all platforms.
- How to leverage agentless vulnerability scanning, secrets scanning, Kubernetes discovery, container assessments, and Security Copilot plug-ins.
- Understand how Defender EASM continuously discovers and maps your digital attack surface to provide an external view of your online infrastructure.
