Microsoft Defender for Cloud is a primary tool in that response plan, and learning how to use all of its features can help you quickly identify real threats from false positives. Defender for Cloud helps you find and fix vulnerabilities, aids in blocking malicious access, and alerts you when your resources are under attack.

Tip

Microsoft Defender for Cloud pulls data from all of your created resources. The level of detail presented varies based on the running workloads in your subscription(s). This is particularly true in the Azure Sandbox, which doesn't have any data.
