Microsoft 365 Defender Security Center:

Log in to the Microsoft 365 Defender Security Center with your administrator account.

Create an Alert Policy:

In the Security Center, go to "Alert & compliance" > "Alert policies".

Click on "+ New alert policy".

Give your policy a name (e.g., "Third-Party App Vulnerabilities") and select the criteria that will trigger the alert, such as "App Vulnerabilities" or "Software Updates".

Configure the conditions, severity, and actions for this alert policy. For example, you can choose to send email notifications or trigger an incident in Microsoft Defender. Hope this helps :)
