-Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps is part of Microsoft Defender XDR, and uses the Microsoft Defender portal to allow security admins to perform their security tasks in one location. The Microsoft Defender portal simplifies workflows and combines functionality from other Microsoft Defender XDR services to Defender for Cloud Apps. 
+Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps is available inside the Microsoft Defender portal. The Defender portal is the home for monitoring and managing security across your Microsoft identities, data, devices, apps, and infrastructure, allowing security admins to perform their security tasks in one location, across multiple Microsoft Defender services.
 
-The Microsoft Defender portal is the home for monitoring and managing security across your Microsoft identities, data, devices, apps, and infrastructure.
