The Asset Data option will send data about all your inventory assets to the tool of your choice. This option is best for use cases where the granular underlying metadata is key to the operationalization of your Defender EASM integration (e.g. Sentinel, customized reporting in Data Explorer). Users can export high-level context on every asset in inventory as well as granular details specific to the particular asset type. This option does not provide any pre-determined insights about the assets; instead, it offers an expansive amount of data so users can surface the customized insights they care about most.

Attack Surface Insights provide an actionable set of results based on the key insights delivered through dashboards in Defender EASM. This option provides less granular metadata on each asset; instead, it categorizes assets based on the corresponding insight(s) and provides the high-level context required to investigate further. This option is ideal for those who want to integrate these pre-determined insights into custom reporting workflows in conjunction with data from other tools.
