Community Question: ATA vs AATP
In my experience, I have had some trouble explaining Azure ATP to people in my department with no knowledge of ATA. There is an assumption that since "Azure" is in the name, it is a protection for Azure or Azure Active Directory. I understand the need to get everything under the same tent, but it might clear up some miss-conceptions with a slightly different name. Something like Active Directory ATP with a online version (AATP) and an on-prem version (ATA), where the cloud version has some benefits not seen in the on-prem version.
Also, the constant updates and their benefits were not as apparent, to me, while investigating AATP (while currently using ATA). Keep your defenses more current, while not putting a burden on security operations. I could see this after looking into AATP for a little bit, but not when initially becoming familiar with it.
