&lt;p&gt;We tried Microsoft Defender EASM alongside Wiz. Defender was great at finding unknown external assets, while Wiz gave us deep visibility into the cloud side. Pairing them gave us a much clearer map than using either tool on its own. Has anyone else combined ASM tools to cover blind spots?&lt;/p&gt;
