    The free version of Defender for Cloud has a nice set of built-in recommendations. The full version provides more detailed assessments and compliance monitoring. Assuming you want the stay on the Microsoft stack:

    Defender for Endpoint - Endpoint and antivirus protection
    Defender for Cloud - Azure resource and server endpoint management
    Defender for Office - All things M365
    Defender for Cloud Apps - CASB and cloud service controls
    Defender for Identity - Bring on-premise identity protection into the cloud
    Azure Active Directory Identity Protection - Protecting AAD identities
    Sentinel is the cherry on top that brings them all together along with any other security logs and signals.

    Hi @G Ganesh Gandhi (SA) , thanks for the question! The best guide to use is this one. It segments and details different areas of Azure security that you can review. And as always if you have any questions you can ask here! Please let me know.

    If this answer helped you please mark it as "Verified" so other users can reference it.

    Thank you,
    James
