The official Microsoft Defender for Cloud community repository containing PowerShell scripts, Azure Policy definitions, Logic App templates, and workbooks for programmatically managing Microsoft Defender for Cloud (formerly Azure Security Center). It provides automations for security recommendations, remediation, and alert response that are not yet built into the product.
Use cases
- remediate Azure security recommendations programmatically at scale
- automate response to Defender for Cloud security alerts with Logic Apps
- manage Azure Policy custom definitions for security posture
- run scheduled security reports and tasks for Defender for Cloud
- visualize Defender for Cloud data in custom workbooks
- manage Microsoft Defender for Cloud settings via PowerShell
When to choose
- you use Microsoft Defender for Cloud and need programmatic at-scale management beyond the portal
- you want to automate remediation of security recommendations across many subscriptions
- you need Logic App templates for alert and recommendation response automation
- you want preview security recommendations and community automations before they ship in the product
When to avoid
- you need a fully supported product with SLA - these community automations are provided as-is
- you are not using Microsoft Defender for Cloud or Azure
- you need a general-purpose security scanning tool rather than Defender for Cloud extensions
- you want a turnkey application rather than scripts, templates, and policy definitions
