What is the difference between the free and standard tiers of Defender for Cloud?

The free tier provides foundational Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) including secure score and recommendations, while the standard tier enables advanced Cloud Workload Protection (CWP) for servers, containers, and databases.

Does this skill support hybrid or multi-cloud environments?

Yes, by integrating with Azure Arc, this skill can help extend Microsoft Defender for Cloud protection to on-premises servers and resources located in other cloud providers.

What are Adaptive Application Controls?

These are machine-learning-powered allowlists that analyze the processes running on your VMs and recommend which applications should be permitted, helping to block malware and unauthorized software.

How does the Secure Score work in Defender for Cloud?

The Secure Score is a numerical measurement of your security posture. It increases as you implement security recommendations, helping you prioritize the most impactful security improvements.

Cloud Infrastructure

Deploys and configures Microsoft Defender for Cloud to secure Azure resources through posture management, workload protection, and automated threat response.

This skill enables AI agents to implement Microsoft Defender for Cloud across Azure subscriptions, providing a comprehensive framework for Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) and Cloud Workload Protection (CWP). It guides users through enabling specific protection plans for VMs, containers, and databases, while configuring auto-provisioning for security agents and Log Analytics integration. By using this skill, security engineers can automate the assessment of regulatory compliance standards like CIS or PCI-DSS, prioritize remediation based on Secure Score impact, and set up advanced features such as Just-In-Time (JIT) VM access and adaptive application controls to harden their cloud environment.
