# Install and configure Microsoft Defender for Cloud integrations for Security Exposure Management

After you install and configure the Microsoft Defender Integration for Security Exposure Management, configure the Microsoft Defender for Cloud integrations.

## Before you begin

Create a new app registration on Azure Active Directory for the Microsoft Defender for Cloud Integration. For information on registering a new application on Azure Active Directory, see the [Microsoft product documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/docs/) site. For information on Azure roles, see [Azure roles](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/rbac-and-directory-admin-roles).

**Note:** The integrations support commercial cloud environments by default. If you require non-commercial support \(GCC High, DoD, etc.\) see the [Non-commercial configuration for Microsoft Defender Integration for Security Exposure Management](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB3141167) Knowledge Base article \[KB3141167\] for more information.

-   The Microsoft Defender Integration for Security Exposure Management application bundles two independent integrations, each with its own configuration steps.
