We have used AWS IoT Device Defender to safeguard our client's IoT senors placed in a manufacturing unit for implementing Industry 4.0 solutions. Its machine learning and automation capabilities have ensured that we get alerts whenever something abnormal or spike in a particular metric is detected which lets us sleep at night. Didn't find any scenario where it is less suited.

Companies that are not using Azure cloud exhaustively will struggle with maximizing the potential of Microsoft defender as multiple important features require the use of IoT Hub etc The product definitely shines though, when integrated with it's friends, i.e when used collectively within microsoft ecosystem. Paired with Intune and IoT Hub, it does a phenomenal job at providing global protection including automated threat protection and cross domain network security features

  • To use it to it's full potential, multiple Azure services are required including but not limited to Intune, VM etc
  • Due to a heavy focus on UI rather than Code heavy approach, it sometimes limits itself in terms of features and adds additional complexity when looking for niche network security features.
  • Major features like Device inventory and alerting are still in preview mode, which of course can hamper an organisation's trust
