When customers create their first Microsoft Defender External Attack Surface Management (Defender EASM) resource, they are automatically granted a 30-day free trial. Once the trial has completed, customers will automatically be charged based on their count of billable assets. The charged amount will appear on their core Azure billing, with “Defender EASM” appearing as separate line item on their invoice.

The list is then analyzed to identify duplicate entries and eliminate duplicate hosts. If a host is a subdomain of a parent host that resolves to the same IP address, we will exclude the child from the billable host count. For example, if both www.contoso.com and contoso.com resolve to 1.2.3.4, then we will exclude www.contoso.com/ 1.2.3.4 from our Host Count list.

Users can view their billable assets count within their Defender EASM resource to better understand how Microsoft determines their pricing. This dashboard displays the total number of assets that are billable and therefore comprise your total spend. Users should expect to see counts from the last 30 days when applicable, excluding the most recent couple days that have not yet processed.

Prospective customers accessing Defender EASM with a 30-day trial can also see these billable asset counts. Although these users are not charged until the trial has expired, they can view the billable asset dashboard to better understand how they would be billed according to the size of their attack surface.

2. The chart displays billable asset counts over the past 30 days (if we have 30 days of data). The individual bars are segmented by asset type so users can quickly understand how their billable assets are distributed across their attack surface. Users can view the daily counts for each kind of asset by hovering their mouse over the chart.
