Question
You have an Azure subscription named Sub1 that contains an Azure Database for PostgreSQL instance. Sub1 has Microsoft Defender for Cloud enabled.
You need to configure Microsoft Defender for Databases to minimize costs.
Which Defender plan should you enable?
- A. Microsoft Defender for Servers
- B. Microsoft Defender for Open-Source Relational Databases Correct
- C. Microsoft Defender for SQL Servers on Machines
- D. Microsoft Defender for Azure SQL Databases
- E. Microsoft Defender for Storage
Explanation
Azure Database for PostgreSQL is protected by the Defender for Open-Source Relational Databases plan, so enabling only that plan covers the instance without paying for anything unused. The Defender for Azure SQL Databases and Defender for SQL Servers on Machines plans protect SQL Server workloads, not PostgreSQL. Defender for Servers protects machines and Defender for Storage protects storage accounts, so neither provides threat protection for the database service.
