Over the last couple of years there has been more than a few name changes for the Microsoft 365 and Azure security products.
In this article we will look at the name changes, give a brief overview of each product and discuss the required licencing.
As I’m sure you have noticed, Microsoft is unifying their security offerings under the Microsoft Defender brand which is delivered as two product suites:
The new Microsoft Defender is the most comprehensive XDR in the market today and prevents, detects, and responds to threats across identities, endpoints, applications, email, IoT, infrastructure, and cloud platforms.

In addition to the Microsoft Defender products, Microsoft Sentinel is Microsoft’s cloud-native SIEM that not only unifies the XDR data from the Microsoft Defender products, but can also consume data from other security solutions such as firewalls and other security tools, to gain visibility across the entire environment.
