Series announcement: Defender for cloud under the hood ☁️✨
A brand new Defender For Cloud Series to help you skill up in CNAPP
I’m excited to kick off a new blog series: Defender for Cloud: Under the Hood this is for anyone who wants to move past the basics and really understand how Microsoft Defender for Cloud works behind the scenes.
Each post will break down key features, explain how they function under the hood, and show how and where they fit into real-world cloud security challenges. I’ll also share insights from my own experience working with the product what works, what doesn’t, and how to make the most of it. Expect practical takeaways, hands-on examples, and a deeper look at the mechanics of the platform.
I hope you share my interest in Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPPs) and find something valuable in this series. The first posts are already live! To get the most out of them, I’d recommend checking out my previous blogs on CNAPPs and why they matter they’ll give you the background you need to fully understand what’s under the hood.
