Canal Secure Score looks healthy, yet there are no malware or storage-threat alerts on the lock estate. What should the Azure security engineer enable so cloud workload threat protection actually runs?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Pretty Secure Score with zero threat alerts means you polished the posture mirrors and never flipped the workload plans. Turn on Defender for Servers, Databases, and Storage—CSPM alone does not hunt malware on the canal estate.
Full Explanation
Foundational cloud security posture management (CSPM) improves Secure Score and recommendations but is not cloud workload protection. Enabling Microsoft Defender for Cloud workload plans—Defender for Servers, Defender for Databases, and Defender for Storage among the official named plans—provides threat detection for those workloads. Security Copilot and Defender for Cloud Apps are not substitutes for those CWPP plans on the January 22, 2026 AZ-500 outline.
