Microsoft Defender for Cloud

Microsoft Defender for Cloud is a security solution and CNAPP that protects cloud-native application development across multicloud and hybrid environments. It serves as a comprehensive security platform for organizations managing diverse infrastructure setups, ensuring their applications remain secure throughout the development lifecycle without requiring complex integrations or separate tools for different cloud providers.

Choose this service when you need robust protection for cloud-native apps in hybrid or multicloud settings. Be aware that there is no free tier available, so you will incur costs immediately upon usage. The pricing model operates on a pay-as-you-go basis, meaning expenses accumulate based on actual consumption rather than a fixed monthly subscription fee.
