Stop reacting to alerts and start engineering autonomous defense.
In the modern enterprise, cloud infrastructure is ephemeral, attacks occur at machine speed, and the traditional perimeter has vanished. To survive, security operations must evolve from manual, human-in-the-loop alert triage to highly automated, multi-cloud resilience.
Microsoft Defender for Cloud: A Technical User's Guide Handbook is the definitive engineering manual for transforming your security posture. Moving far beyond the basic portal wizards, this book provides cloud architects, security engineers, and SOC analysts with the programmatic blueprints necessary to deploy, govern, and defend complex Azure, AWS, and GCP environments.
Authored by Sammy Tech, this comprehensive guide bridges the gap between high-level security theory and tactical implementation. You will learn how to treat your security infrastructure as code, hunt advanced persistent threats using big-data analytics, and build "self-healing" networks that automatically isolate compromised assets.
Inside, you will discover how to:
-
Master Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM): Decipher the Microsoft Secure Score and deploy immutable, automated guardrails using Azure Policy, Bicep, and Terraform.
-
Deploy Cloud Workload Protection (CWPP): Shield execution environments—from virtual machines to Kubernetes clusters—using advanced behavioral monitoring and Just-In-Time (JIT) access.
-
Hunt Adversaries with KQL: Write advanced Kusto Query Language (KQL) scripts to correlate disparate security events, track cross-cloud lateral movement, and uncover hidden attack chains.
-
Engineer Autonomous Remediation: Build API-driven, self-healing orchestration pipelines using Azure Functions, Python, and cutting-edge Agentic AI workflows (LangGraph).
-
Unify Multi-Cloud Defense: Seamlessly extend Defender’s reach into AWS and GCP environments using OIDC federation, Agentless Scanning, and Azure Arc.
-
Automate Governance & Auditing: Stream multi-cloud telemetry into Power BI for executive dashboards and establish cryptographically secure, immutable audit trails.
Who This Book Is For This book is written for hands-on technical professionals: Cloud Security Architects designing multi-cloud perimeters, DevSecOps Engineers embedding security into CI/CD pipelines, and Tier 2/Tier 3 SOC Analysts transitioning from alert-reading to active threat hunting.
Whether you are defending a single Azure subscription or managing a massive, decentralized multi-cloud footprint, this handbook equips you with the tools to stay ahead of the adversary and secure the future of your cloud infrastructure.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
