    Hey eitan1000,

     

    Microsoft Defender for SQL does not do any auto-blocking based on alerts or recommendations. You can configure triggers for logic apps and we want to give better tools for auto-remediation in the future but that would be an opt-in experience when relevant. We understand that security always comes with continuity of business, which is the purpose for the resource to exist in the first place. 

     

    When you enable Microsoft Defender for SQL on machines we add a lean XEvents session through which we monitor the relevant behavior, for Azure SQL it is done through a background stream.
