• Lists prioritized security alerts.
• Provides information to quickly investigate problems.
• Recommends how to remediate attacks.

Note

Azure Deployment Environments (ADE) is highly recommended for creating environments. ADE empowers developers to rapidly deploy app infrastructure using project-based templates, ensuring consistent and secure environments for your development teams.

To learn more about Azure Deployment Environments, see Azure Deployment Environments documentation.
