Microsoft defender is actually a whole product family of cloud hosted services.
Microsoft defender for servers is the component parts and
pieces of defender that allow you to protect your Azure VMS
and you're off cloud systems.
Specifically when you light up Microsoft defender for
servers in your Azure subscription,
you get integrated licensing for Microsoft defender for endpoint,
so that you can install the defender anti malware solution and vulnerability
assessment tools on those managed windows server systems.
In addition,
Microsoft defender for servers gives you just in time or jit Vm access.
This allows you to protect the management ports on your Azure virtual
machines such that your administrators would have to specifically request
access and when they're granted the access,
it would be only from their iP address for a time Windowed time period.
There's additional features like file integrity monitoring and
adaptive application controls that allow you to watch registry
settings and files to be alerted if there's a change and adaptive
application controls allows you to create an allow list for processes
that are allowed to run on the system.
Everything else would be blocked.
So there's quite a basket of security features baked into Microsoft defender for servers
