Migration recommendation
We recommend using Defender for Cloud Apps discovery in parallel with your current CASB solution. Start by configuring automatic firewall log upload to Defender for Cloud Apps log collectors. If you use Defender for Endpoint, in Microsoftthe Defender XDR,portal, make sure you turn on the option to forward signals to Defender for Cloud Apps. Configuring cloud discovery won't conflict with the log collection of your current CASB solution.
