Microsoft Defender for IoT OT Site License XS Annual Commit

Protect industrial environments with Microsoft Defender for IoT through an OT site license in the NCE annual commit model. This XS license is designed for organizations that need focused coverage for a smaller operational technology footprint while keeping purchasing aligned to a recurring annual commitment. For teams responsible for plant floors, remote facilities, or segmented OT networks, licensing matters as much as detection. A site-based model helps map protection to the environment you actually run, making it easier to standardize coverage across industrial locations without overbuying capacity you do not need. The annual commit structure also supports cleaner budget planning and simpler renewal management. Microsoft Defender for IoT is built for visibility into OT assets and activity, helping security teams monitor industrial systems with the control expected in regulated or high-availability environments. This license is a practical fit when you need to formalize protection for a specific site, keep procurement straightforward, and maintain a consistent security posture across critical operations.
