Azure provides a wide range of cloud services, including security-related offerings like Azure Sentinel (SIEM) and Azure Defender. While Azure Sentinel can be seen as a competitor to IDR, other Azure services, such as Azure Active Directory, Azure Monitor, and Azure Security Center can be complementary to IDR by providing data sources and security insights that IDR can leverage for analysis and incident detection. Azure resources often require monitoring and security, creating a need for solutions like Rapid7 IDR.
