And for most this image seems to have stuck in mind. But Microsoft has poured millions into the development of their security stack over the last 5 years and Defender for Cloud (as it is today called) has also learned a lot of new tricks. In this session I'm going to uncover the robustness of Defender for Cloud in 2025. You can expect to gain overall understanding of how sneaky good Microsoft Defender for Cloud (MDC) is and how you can even use it to secure your digital non-Azure assets via its multi-cloud support.
