Microsoft Defender for Identity vs. SaaS Alerts

Microsoft Defender for Identity enables you to integrate Microsoft Defender for Identity with Defender for Endpoint, for an even more complete threat protection solution. While Defender for Identity monitors the traffic on your domain controllers, Defender for Endpoint monitors your endpoints, together providing a single interface from which you can protect your environment.

​​SaaS Alerts is a automated cybersecurity platform to detect and automate the remediation of SaaS security threats. The platform provides unified, continuous monitoring of core business SaaS applications to protect against data theft and malicious actors, including Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Slack, Dropbox, Okta, Duo and more. SaaS Alerts uses machine learning pattern detection to identify breaches, create instant alerts, and lock affected accounts, providing you with valuable time to respond before further damage can occur.
