Microsoft App Governance Add-on for Defender for Cloud Apps

Strengthen control over connected apps without adding another security silo. The app governance add-on for Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps gives security teams deeper visibility into OAuth applications, permissions, and app activity so they can identify risky behavior before it spreads across the tenant. Built for organizations already standardizing on Microsoft security, this annual commit licensing model supports ongoing governance rather than one-time review. It helps teams track app consent, surface suspicious access patterns, and maintain tighter oversight of third-party integrations that can expand attack surface and compliance exposure. For enterprises managing hundreds or thousands of cloud apps, the value is in precision. Instead of broad policy noise, app governance focuses on the apps that matter most: those with privileged access, unusual usage, or permissions that exceed business need. That makes it easier to align security operations, identity governance, and procurement around a single control point. Choose this add-on when app sprawl is no longer a visibility problem but a risk management problem. It extends Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps with the governance depth needed to support mature cloud security programs.
