Security News > 2020 > December > Microsoft 365 admins can now get security incident email alerts
Microsoft has added support for security incident email notifications to the Microsoft 365 Defender enterprise threat protection solution.
The Microsoft 365 Defender suite is used by security teams for coordinated threat protection in enterprise environments for protecting devices, identity, data, and applications.
As Microsoft shared earlier today, Microsoft 365 admins can now set up Microsoft 365 Defender to alert them via email on new security incidents or updates to existing incidents.
"The email notification contains important details about the incident like the incident name, severity, and categories, among others," Microsoft explains.
To be able to configure email notification settings admins need to have 'Manage security settings' permissions.
