Microsoft’s Defender for Cloud will begin enforcing the Defender Cloud Security Posture Management (DCSPM) plan check for premium DevOps security value beginning March 7th, 2024. If you have the Defender CSPM plan enabled on a cloud environment (Azure, AWS, GCP) within the same tenant your DevOps connectors are created in, you'll continue to receive premium code to cloud DevOps capabilities at no additional cost. If you aren't a Defender CSPM customer, you have until March 7th, 2024 to enable Defender CSPM before losing access to these security features. To enable Defender CSPM on a connected cloud environment before March 7, 2024, follow the enablement documentation outlined here.
Microsoft Defender CSPM provides advanced security posture capabilities including agentless vulnerability scanning, attack path analysis, integrated data-aware security posture, code to cloud contextualization, and an intelligent cloud security graph. Pricing is dependent on cloud size, with billing based on Server, Storage account, and Database counts. There is no additional charge for DevOps resources with this enforcement.
