Enroll only selected servers in Azure Defender

Copper Contributor

Hi Team,

 

I have a existing LA Workspace which I use for Sentinel, so the MMA is installed on our on-premise servers.

Now I would like to enable this workspace in Azure Defender, but I'll only want to add some of the servers in Azure Defender(paid version), is there any way to do this or do you need another workspace for the servers I would like to add to Azure Defender?

Hi @khelbo 

 

Even though it's possible to enable AzDefender for Servers at the workspace level, it's highly recommended to enable it at the subscription level, otherwise you won't get some additional features like JIT, Application controls, MDE, etc.

Also, its not currently possible to enable Defender for a subset of servers connected to ASC, this is something we are considering adding in the future.

You cannot enable Azure Defender for only selected servers on your subscription. Please read the article on : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/security-center/security-center-get-started#:~:text=To%20enab....

Azure Defender / Security Center enables on your subscription level. Not with individual components.
