Hi If I am not mistaken,defender for cloud apps comes as a part of M365 E5 Information Protection and Governance or E5, correct me if I am wrong here.
You're partially right, but let me clarify it for you:
Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps (formerly MCAS) is not directly included in Microsoft 365 E5 Information Protection & Governance — it's included in the full Microsoft 365 E5 suite or can be purchased as a standalone license or part of the Enterprise Mobility + Security E5 (EMS E5) suite.
Here's a breakdown:
Included in:
- Microsoft 365 E5 (the full suite, not just Info Protection & Governance add-on)
- Enterprise Mobility + Security E5 (EMS E5)
- *Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps (standalone license)
Not included in:
- Microsoft 365 E5 Information Protection & Governance
- Microsoft 365 E5 Compliance
- Microsoft 365 E3
Summary:
If you have the Microsoft 365 E5 suite or EMS E5, then yes, you have Defender for Cloud Apps. But if you only have the E5 Information Protection & Governance add-on, you do not get Defender for Cloud Apps.
