Defender for Cloud DCR
Enabling Defender for Servers Plan 2 and creating a custom DCR to enable the 500MB ingestion into log analytics. The workspace I am sending the logs to is connected to Sentinel. When I looked at creating the DCR I received this pop-up If I enable the Sentinel connector, will this duplicate the cost of the logs or will the connector just enable the data to be surfaced in Sentinel?edwaro3Jul 28, 2025Microsoft136Views0likes2CommentsIs setting an index tag in Azure Defender for Cloud during file write an atomic operation?
Hi, When using Azure Defender for Cloud, is setting an index tag at the same time as writing a file considered an atomic operation? Or is there a propagation delay before the tag becomes fully available and effective for search and policy enforcement? Any insights or official documentation references would be appreciated!vitoiaconoJul 25, 2025Copper Contributor32Views0likes0CommentsFile Integrity Monitoring - Agentless Issues in Detecting Changes to Files
Hello! Looks like there have been some recent updates made to File Integrity Monitoring. After reviewing the MS documentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/defender-for-cloud/file-integrity-monitoring-overview#recommended-items-to-monitor it looks like you can now create custom Rules for Files and for custom Registry keys. From what I can gather from the documentation, agentless scans are used for custom rules that you create and an agentless scan occurs once every 24 hours. I have created several custom rules to detect if a file has been Deleted, Added, Modified or Renamed and Defender for Cloud is still not detecting any changes. I have made changes to these files 3 days ago, and no changes have been reported back. Any ideas why this might not be working. I have already confirmed that the appropriate RBAC Roles have been assigned to my Key Vaults where CMK Disks are being used. I also wanted to know if the Agentless FIM can monitor Folders / Directories as well. I haven't seen anything about this in the documentation. Is this even supported?106Views0likes0CommentsMISRA support in Defender
I want to check for MISRA C code compliance. The idea is to check for MISRA C compliance when asking for a Pull Request. If the code fails on those checks, the PR will not be created. This way, we enforce MISRA compliance before integrating the code to the repository. I am not seeing MISRA in the list of standards under - Regulatory Compliance>>Subscriptions>> Security Po;iciesyogisrivastavaJun 10, 2025Microsoft41Views0likes0CommentsRuntime protection - Microsoft Defender for Cloud DevOps Security (Defender CSPM)

Hello Community, In our Customer i have a strange problem. We onboarded with Azure Arc server and activate a Defender for Cloud servises only for Endpoint protection. Some of this device onboarded into Microsoft Defender portale, but not appears as a device, infact i don't have opportunity to put them into a group to apply policy. I have check sensor of Azure Arc and all works fine (device are in Azure Arc, are in the defender portal and see them on Intune (managed by MDE)). From Intune portal From Defender portal But in difference from other device into entra ID exists only the enterprise application and not device I show the example of device that works correctly (the same onboarding method) Is there anyone who has or has had this problem?

Hi, does anyone know where the data that Defender for AI uses is processed and what data is stored and available to Microsoft? If abuse monitoring is turned off, the documentation says "Microsoft does not store the prompts and completions associated with the approved Azure subscription." If content filtering is enabled the documentation says "Noo prompts or generated content are stored in the content classifier models." https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/legal/cognitive-services/openai/data-privacy?tabs=azure-portal#preventing-abuse-and-harmful-content-generation But I was wondering what data is stored/processed, where this happens and if there's any documentation around this for the Defender for AI service. Could anyone point me to a page, please?

I tried enabling the "Security attack path" via API and CMDLET using Powershell. It is not working.

I'm reaching out to the Microsoft Defender for Cloud team and the broader community because I've run into a gap that I believe others may face too — and I’m hoping for guidance or clarification. I need to programmatically retrieve a list of resources from a subscription and determine if each resource is covered by a Defender for Cloud plan. This would replicate what we see in the Azure Portal under: Microsoft Defender for Cloud > Inventory: The goal is to fetch this data via API and replicate that table — but the problem is that it seems there’s no way to retrieve the “Defender for Cloud” coverage status per resource. Here’s what I’ve tried so far: The /pricings endpoint — returns plan tiers like Free or Standard, but only for the overall subscription or service type, not individual resources. Azure Resource Graph — the properties field does not contain any Defender-related indicators that would confirm whether a specific resource is covered. My Question Does an API exist today to retrieve per-resource Defender for Cloud coverage? Is there a /coverage endpoint or equivalent that is officially supported? If anyone from the Defender for Cloud or Azure product teams can point me in the right direction, I’d truly appreciate it. Thank you!JuanOJGMay 09, 2025Copper Contributor104Views0likes1CommentMicrosoft Defender for Cloud - Servers & Apps Question
Hi, while learning about the Microsoft Defender for Cloud (MDC) Cloud Workload Protection (CWP), I have seen below points. Servers: When we opt for MDC CWP for servers, I see Agentless scanning for machines and along with it below, But we already have "Carbon Black" which handles the above role of Guest Configuration agent. So, my question is, If I enroll for MDC - Cloud workload protection: As we need to have a security/defender tool installed on Azure machines (In this case Guest Configuration agent). Would this then replace "Carbon Black" as we already, have it? Or do we see this MDC - Cloud workload protection for Servers as additional apart from Carbon Black? Apps: We have our Azure Apps protected by Cloudflare and VNet Integration which are with our firewall-based routes, do we still need to enroll for App Service protection by MDC CWP. Please advise on above 2 areas. ThanksVijayGanjiMay 07, 2025Copper Contributor36Views0likes0Comments
