Confused with Module 3 - Policy Management at https://github.com/Azure/Microsoft-Defender-for-Cloud/blob/main/Onboarding/Modules/3-Policy-Management.md#step-3---assign-and-customize-the-mdc-default-policy

Question

Hi, I am reading the onboarding process and reached module 3 at

https://github.com/Azure/Microsoft-Defender-for-Cloud/blob/main/Onboarding/Modules/3-Policy-Management.md#step-3---assign-and-customize-the-mdc-default-policy

I have already activated all defender plan trial and confused with the consepts of assigning the MDC policy asindicated with

az policy assignment create --name ‘MDCDefault’ –policy-set-definition 1f3afdf9-d0c9-4c3d-847f-89da613e70a8

So is this an old documentation or the fact of enabling defender will implements all policies in the MDC?

Thanks

Hi @Salam ELIAS

This link you shared seems to be 3 years old as shown in below image therefore I would strongly advise against using it as the main source of reference "https://github.com/Azure/Microsoft-Defender-for-Cloud/blob/main/Onboarding/Modules/3-Policy-Management.md#step-3---assign-and-customize-the-mdc-default-policy"

Please refer to Microsoft official documentation to learn more about Microsoft Defender for Cloud?
