Defender for Cloud gives you a number that I can predict two things about: It will not be 100, and someone will eventually ask why.

Let's talk about other strange findings, like how Defender produces recommendations faster than any team can act on them, charges per plan and per resource type, and runs on the same policy engine you already use for governance. How do you make it work for you? We cover what it gives you beyond a list of findings, which plans earn what they cost, which recommendations to deliberately dismiss, and how to record that decision so it survives an audit.

You leave able to decide what to switch on, what to ignore on purpose, and how to explain both.
