Why Microsoft Defender for Cloud? 

Business units often adopt cloud applications faster than security teams can govern them. This creates blind spots around sensitive data, user activity and application risk.  Microsoft Defender for Cloud provides visibility into cloud usage, helps assess risk across your SaaS estate and enables organisations to apply appropriate controls to protect data and reduce exposure.
