By using these filters, security teams can quickly identify and investigate potential threats before they become more significant issues.

To stay ahead of potential threats, it's important for organizations to establish a proactive security culture and employ a layered security approach. This includes regularly updating security policies and procedures, performing regular security assessments and penetration testing, and implementing security tools like Microsoft Defender for Cloud's Security Explorer.
