Tuskira and Microsoft Defender for Cloud

What Tuskira does with Microsoft Defender for Cloud

Monitors cloud configurations, workloads, and posture for threats and misconfigurations. Cloud security tools are good at listing misconfigurations. The hard part is knowing which ones an attacker can chain into a real path. Tuskira places Microsoft Defender for Cloud findings in one model with your identities, network controls and vulnerabilities, so a misconfiguration is judged by what it exposes, not by its severity label.

How the connection works

The Microsoft Defender for Cloud integration is out of the box, so there are no custom pipelines to build or maintain. Tuskira connects through the Microsoft Defender for Cloud API and queries data where it lives. That data stays in Microsoft Defender for Cloud. Only context and verdicts move, and every agent run is logged with its full reasoning so your team can check the work.
