Tradeoffs & buying questions

-
Defined third-party extension beyond Defend

Clarity Protect's proactive Defender posture and Secure Score work are not established as Extend inclusions.
-
Recovery and extra IR need agreed scope

Ask before buying

- How are Microsoft licenses, Sentinel ingestion, retention and additional IR work charged?
