       | for Office 365, Defender for Identity, and Defender for Cloud
       | Apps (which used to be called Microsoft Cloud App Security up
       | until a couple of months ago). Oh and dont forget about Defender
       | for Cloud (which is different from Defender for Cloud Apps, and
       | is not a part of Defender for Microsoft 365). Go figure
