In this quickstart you will learn how to configure security alert emails in Microsoft Defender for Cloud to ensure that security alerts reach the right people in your organization. By default, Microsoft Defender for Cloud emails subscription owners whenever a high-severity alert is triggered for their subscription. This page explains how to customize these notifications.

Microsoft Defender for Cloud allows you to configure email notifications for alerts and attack paths. Configuring email notifications allows for the delivery of timely notifications to the appropriate recipients. By modifying the email notification settings, preferences can be defined for the severity levels of alerts and the risk level of attack paths that trigger notifications. By default, subscription owners receive email notifications for high-severity alerts and attack paths.
