Security alerts in Microsoft Defender for Identity

  • מאמר

Note

The experience described in this page can be accessed at https://security.microsoft.com as part of Microsoft Defender XDR.

Microsoft Defender for Identity security alerts explain the suspicious activities detected by Defender for Identity sensors on your network, and the actors and computers involved in each threat. Alert evidence lists contain direct links to the involved users and computers, to help make your investigations easy and direct.

Defender for Identity security alerts are divided into the following categories or phases, like the phases seen in a typical cyber-attack kill chain. Learn more about each phase, the alerts designed to detect each attack, and how to use the alerts to help protect your network using the following links:

  1. Reconnaissance and discovery alerts
  2. Persistence and privilege escalation alerts
  3. Credential access alerts
  4. Lateral movement alerts
  5. Other alerts

To learn more about the structure and common components of all Defender for Identity security alerts, see Understanding security alerts.

Security alert name mapping and unique external IDs

The following table lists the mapping between alert names, their corresponding unique external IDs, their severity, and their MITRE ATT&CK Matrix™ tactic. When used with scripts or automation, Microsoft recommends use of alert external IDs in place of alert names, as only security alert external IDs are permanent, and not subject to change.
