An interactive mind map of the MDA / MCAS solution — its seven capability areas and 25 features — with dotted lines tracing every point where it integrates with the rest of the Defender XDR stack, Microsoft Purview, and Entra ID.
Click any node to open its detail. Click an integration partner (the rounded outer nodes — Entra ID, MDE, Purview…) to trace every MDA feature it connects to; click a feature to see which solutions it reaches. Drag to pan, scroll to zoom.
Each branch of the mind map is one capability area of Defender for Cloud Apps. Together they take an app from undiscovered shadow IT to a governed, monitored, posture-managed part of the estate.
MDA is not an island. Every dotted line in the mind map is a real integration point with another Microsoft security solution — here is what each connection actually does, grouped by the solution MDA reaches into.
