Microsoft
Microsoft Defender for Cloud and Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps are distinct security solutions within Microsoft's Defender suite, each tailored to address specific aspects of cloud security.
Microsoft Defender for Cloud is a comprehensive cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) designed to safeguard resources across Azure, on-premises, and multicloud environments, including Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps, formerly known as Microsoft Cloud App Security, functions as a Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) that enhances visibility and control over your organization's cloud applications. - Pearl-Angeles
