Using Microsoft Defender for Cloud offers significant benefits in reviewing alerts from virtual machines, which is crucial for maintaining a secure cloud environment. This service provides comprehensive security management and threat protection across various cloud services, particularly focusing on virtual machines and applications. By actively monitoring and analyzing security alerts, Microsoft Defender for Cloud helps identify potential vulnerabilities and threats in real-time, allowing organizations to respond promptly to any incidents.
The capability to review alerts from virtual machines means that security teams can gain insights into suspicious activities, abnormal behaviors, and potential security breaches occurring within their cloud asset ecosystem. This proactive monitoring enhances the overall security posture of the organization and supports compliance with various security standards and regulations.
Though resource allocation management, integration with legacy systems, and cost management tools might offer some value in a cloud strategy, they do not specifically target the core function of security monitoring and threat detection that is vital in protecting virtual machines and the broader cloud infrastructure. Therefore, the ability to review alerts directly impacts an organization’s security effectiveness, making it an essential aspect of utilizing Microsoft Defender for Cloud.
