Microsoft Defender for Cloud have a new public preview feature which allows user to check what is the current status of AWS and GCP connector.<\/p>

With this feature, users will be able to monitor the connectivity status of AWS and GCP environments connected to Defender for Cloud, track any connectivity issues related to the configuration between Defender and the other cloud environment, and remediate them.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

With cloud workloads commonly spanning multiple cloud platforms, cloud security services must do the same. Microsoft Defender for Cloud and its Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) features  protects workloads in Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), GitHub and Azure DevOps (ADO).<\/p>\n

Microsoft have made great quickstart guides for all connector mentioned above.<\/p>\n

To connect and protect AWS resources, start here!<\/a><\/p>\n

To connect and protect GCP resources, start here!<\/a><\/p>\n

To connect and protect Github resources, start here!<\/a><\/p>\n

To connect and protect AzureDevOps (ADO) resources, start here!<\/a><\/p>\n

Defender for Cloud works also with non-Azure machines (Azure Arc). Start here!<\/a><\/p>\n

This was a very short guide for AWS & GCP connectivity status. I hope it gives you some  insights.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
