Welcome to the Azure Security Center (Microsoft Defender for Cloud) Course.

Cloud has made life easier for us, no doubt. With a few clicks, we can provision new VMs and resources. The Security of the provisioned resources in the Cloud remains a shared responsibility.

Your share of responsibility increases as we go from SaaS to PaaS to IaaS.

Why can this be overwhelming?

· The sheer number of workloads itself can be overwhelming.

· Azure has 100+ services and more supporting services under the hood. – A small team may not have the skills to operate all of them.

· Mere inexperience with Cloud operations can be a factor as well.

· The team can be pre-occupied with cloud migration itself with no time to focus on governance

· The self-service model of cloud services and easy exposure of resources to the internet make the task harder.

· The malicious attack campaigns are getting more sophisticated especially with the involvement of state actors.

In face of such challenges, Azure security center is the first and the best line of defense.
