Some exciting cloud security changes coming out from Microsoft Ignite 2021 https://news.microsoft.com/november-2021-ignite/
As always, Microsoft are always changing the name of their security products. Here's the latest (and maybe final?) edition.
Latest MS Cloud Security Product Names 2021
| Old | New |
|---|---|
| Microsoft Threat Protection | Microsoft 365 Defender |
Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection (MDATP) |
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint |
| Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection | Microsoft Defender for Office |
| Azure Advanced Threat Protection | Microsoft Defender for Identity |
| Microsoft Cloud App Security (MCAS) | Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps |
| Azure Security Center (ASC) + Azure Defender | Microsoft Defender for Cloud |
| Azure Defender for IoT | Microsoft Defender for IoT |
| Azure Sentinel | Microsoft Sentinel |
I'm particularly fond of the unification of ASC and Azure Defender into Microsoft Defender for Cloud. It's always been confusing for people having the two different products but located within each other.
The change from Azure Sentinel to Microsoft Sentinel makes complete sense. Sentinel is now more than just Azure. It's bringing in feeds from many sources including AWS so it makes sense to now make it a "Microsoft" product and not just Azure.
