Microsoft Defender for Cloud, previously known as Azure Security Center, is a unified infrastructure security management system. It provides security management and advanced threat protection across hybrid cloud workloads.

Here's more information about its features:

  • Threat protection: Defender for Cloud helps to detect and prevent threats across a wide variety of services from Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) to Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), applying advanced analytics and global threat intelligence.
  • Secure score: It provides a secure score to help organizations assess their security posture and provides recommendations to mitigate potential risks.
  • Just-in-Time access: It reduces the attack surface by enabling just-in-time, controlled access to management ports on Azure VMs.
  • Security policy: Organizations can define a custom security policy per their needs, allowing them to set the desired configuration and the service will monitor and report any drift from that baseline.
  • Regulatory compliance: Defender for Cloud provides a range of tools to help organizations meet their compliance obligations, offering built-in controls for many regulatory standards.
  • Security automation and remediation: It offers security automation and orchestration features to aid in incident response and remediation.
  • Integration: It's deeply integrated with other services within Azure, and can protect non-Azure resources as well.

Please note that the exact features and capabilities of Defender for Cloud can evolve over time as Microsoft continues to invest and innovate in their cloud security offerings. You should check the latest documentation or directly contact Microsoft for the most up-to-date and detailed information.
