Azure Security Benchmark ES-1: Use Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)

Deploy Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on Azure VMs with continuous monitoring, alerting, and automated response.

This control maps to 45 controls across 26 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

Other controls in Endpoint Security

You are reading one control. How much of Azure Security Benchmark have you already done?

Azure Security Benchmark ES-1 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of Azure Security Benchmark your existing evidence covers. Hold NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 and 71 of 85 Azure Security Benchmark controls already carry evidence.

Each report names every control your existing framework evidences, every one it does not, the reasoning behind each claim, and the claims that were argued against and rejected. 0 were rejected on the NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 pair alone.
