Microsoft App Governance Add-on for Defender for Cloud Apps

Gain clearer control over cloud app risk with the App Governance add-on for Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps. Built for teams that need more than basic visibility, it extends your security posture with governance-focused controls for SaaS applications and app permissions. Use it to identify suspicious app behavior, review permission exposure, and support policy-driven oversight across the cloud apps your organization depends on. For enterprises managing a growing SaaS footprint, that means better signal, faster review cycles, and fewer blind spots in day-to-day security operations. The monthly commit model gives procurement teams a flexible licensing path while keeping the control plane anchored in Microsoft’s cloud security stack. It is a practical fit for organizations that want to tighten governance without introducing another standalone platform to manage. For security and compliance teams, this add-on helps turn app sprawl into something measurable, reviewable, and easier to govern at scale.
