Implementing Defender for Cloud, Microsoft’s CNAPP to embed security from code to cloud

Here are some guidance steps to help you implement Defender for Cloud and integrate it with other Defender products:

1. Assess your organization's security needs: Before you begin implementing Defender for Cloud, it's important to assess your organization's security needs. Consider the types of cloud resources you're using, the level of risk associated with each resource, and the potential impact of a security breach.

2. Plan your implementation: Once you've assessed your security needs, you can start planning your implementation. This should involve identifying the specific Defender for Cloud features that are relevant to your organization and determining how you'll configure and deploy the solution.

3. Deploy Defender for Cloud: With your implementation plan in place, you can start deploying Defender for Cloud. 

4. Integrate with other Defender products: Defender for Cloud can be integrated with other Defender products, such as M365 Defender, Endpoint, and Servers. Integration enables you to streamline your security operations and gain a more comprehensive view of your organization's security posture. 

5. Monitor and manage Defender for Cloud: Once Defender for Cloud is up and running, it's important to monitor and manage the solution on an ongoing basis. This involves keeping an eye on security alerts, investigating potential threats, and taking action to mitigate risks as they arise.

For medium-sized companies with 500 to 1000 users, it may be helpful to work with a qualified IT service provider or Microsoft partner to help with the implementation and integration of Defender for Cloud.
