+
+- **Use threat-based recommendations** to help identify gaps in coverage against specific attacks based on Microsoft research and mitigate them by ingesting the recommended logs and adding recommended detections.
+
+The [`recommendations`](soc-optimization/soc-optimization-api.md) API is still in Preview.
