| Purpose | Keycloak adds authentication to applications and secure services, so they do not need to store or authenticate users themselves. | Microsoft Defender for Business is an endpoint security solution for small and medium-sized businesses with up to 300 users that helps protect devices from ransomware, malware, phishing, and other threats. |
| Support | The project recommends Red Hat build of Keycloak for users who cannot regularly upgrade and need long-term support for specific versions. | Microsoft's Defender for Business documentation provides a guide for getting help or contacting support. |
