Moving to the cloud is exciting. It’s fast, flexible, and helps businesses grow. But here’s the truth: the cloud can also attract cybercriminals. That’s where Azure Defender for Cloud comes in. Think of it as a security guard for your cloud systems, always watching, always protecting.

What Is Azure Defender for Cloud?

Azure Defender for Cloud is a tool from Microsoft that keeps your cloud safe. It checks your systems, spots weaknesses, and warns you about threats before they cause damage. It works for Azure, other clouds like AWS, and even your on-premises servers.

Why Do You Need It?

1. Hackers love the cloud. They look for easy targets.
2. Compliance matters. If you handle sensitive data, you need to follow rules like GDPR.

Best Practices:
