In this episode, we dive into three key Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP) offerings within Microsoft Defender for Cloud: Defender for Resource Manager, Defender for Key Vault, and Defender for APIs. Our Q&A format explores how these tools safeguard Azure environments against sophisticated threats, from management layer exploits to API vulnerabilities. Key Takeaways:

Defender for Resource Manager monitors and protects against suspicious operations in Azure's management layer.
Defender for Key Vault adds native threat protection to detect anomalous access to secrets and credentials.
Defender for APIs provides full lifecycle security for APIs in Azure API Management, including inventory, posture recommendations, and runtime threat detection.
These plans integrate seamlessly into Defender for Cloud's broader CNAPP framework for multi-cloud and hybrid protection.
