We will be retiring the Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) support from “Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps” and officially moving it to “Microsoft Defender for Cloud” beginning late November 2023. We recommend the reconfiguration of CSPM tool in “Microsoft Defender for Cloud”, which is where we will continue to invest our development resources.
This message is complementary to the banners we displayed in the last year in CSPM related pages in “Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps” and the notes in our documentation pages notifying these upcoming changes in 2023.
[When this will happen:]
We will roll this out in late November 2023 and expect to complete by mid-December 2023.
[How this will affect your organization:]
Security administrators will no longer be able to access, manage and use CSPM features in “Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps”, such as API connectors, posture management, etc. when this change is implemented.
You are receiving this message because our reporting indicates your license includes the CSPM support features in “Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps”, as this is a global message to all “Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps” it’s possible, if CSPM is not used, that this event will not have impact you at all.
[What you need to do to prepare:]
If CSPM is used in your organization, instead of using “Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps”, we recommend using “Microsoft Defender for Cloud” where we will continue to invest our development resources, and to re-configure the connectors to the cloud services
