Enhanced API security support for multi-regional Azure API Management deployments and managing API revisions

Estimated date for change: November 6, 2024

API security coverage within Defender for Cloud will now have full support for Azure API Management multi-region deployments, including full security posture and threat detection support to both primary and secondary regions

Onboarding and offboarding APIs to Defender for APIs will now be managed at the Azure API Management API level. All associated Azure API Management revisions will automatically be included in the process, eliminating the need to manage onboarding and offboarding for each API revision individually.

This change will include a one-time rollout to existing Defender for APIs customers.

Rollout Details:

• The rollout will occur during the week of November 6 for existing Defender for APIs customers.
• If the 'current' revision for an Azure API Management API is already onboarded to Defender for APIs, all associated revisions for that API will also be automatically onboarded to Defender for APIs.
• If the 'current' revision for an Azure API Management API isn't onboarded to Defender for APIs, any associated API revisions that were onboarded to Defender for APIs will be offboarded.
