A. B. C. D.Correct Answer: C Azure Defender is for Cloud workload protection, not for Cloud Security posture, security and configuration management.
Hence, only option C is correct and A, B and D are incorrect.
Reference:
Azure Defender is a cloud-native security solution that provides advanced threat protection across your hybrid workloads in the cloud and on-premises. Its main role can be described as "Cloud workload protection" (option C).
Cloud workload protection involves securing your cloud resources and applications, regardless of their location, against cyber attacks and other threats. Azure Defender does this by integrating with Azure Security Center to deliver threat protection for virtual machines, containers, Kubernetes clusters, and other cloud resources. It uses a combination of behavioral analysis, machine learning, and threat intelligence to detect and respond to threats in real-time.
In addition to threat protection, Azure Defender also provides security posture management capabilities (option B) to help you assess and improve your security posture in the cloud. This includes continuous monitoring of your cloud resources for compliance with security policies and best practices, as well as providing recommendations for remediation.
Cloud configuration management (option A) refers to the process of managing and monitoring the configuration of your cloud resources to ensure they are secure and compliant. While Azure Defender does provide some configuration management capabilities, it is primarily focused on threat protection and security posture management.
Finally, "Cloud Security Management" (option D) is a broader term that encompasses all of the above capabilities, as well as other security-related tasks such as identity and access management, network security, and data protection. While Azure Defender is a key component of cloud security management in Azure, it is not the only tool or solution that is required to fully secure your cloud environment.
