Private Preview: Threat Detection in Azure Backup Powered by MDC

We are excited to announce the Private Preview of an advanced Threat Detection capability in Azure Backup, now integrated with Microsoft Defender for Cloud (MDC). This new feature enables you to assess the health of their Azure VM backup RPs by identifying healthy and suspicious RPs based on signals from Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (MDE) real-time scans, conducted as part of Microsoft Defender for Servers plans. Azure Backup looks for specific disruption and heuristic-behavior based signals from MDE which indicate that backup data is suspicious with ransomware. If you are interested in participating in the private preview of this product, please complete the Private Preview enrolment form below and we'll send you email with further instructions. We value your feedback and will be incorporated into our product development. [Sign-up form](https://forms.office.com/r/2eK46EpdDb).
