## Threat detection in the Microsoft Defender portal
2626

27-
Security teams need focus and clarity to eliminate false positives. The Microsoft Defender portal correlates and merges alerts and incidents from all Microsoft security and compliance solutions as well as unifying threat detection from external solutions through Microsoft Sentinel and Microsoft Defender for Cloud. The correlation and merging of these signals brings rich context and prioritization. For example, an Adversary-in-The-Middle (AiTM) phishing attack might have pieces of the threat puzzle scattered across multiple sources. The Defender portal puts those pieces together into an attack story while providing attack disrupt and guided response to remediate the threat.

## Microsoft Defender for Cloud threat detection

Defender for Cloud provides threat detection to generate alerts and incidents by continuously monitoring your clouds' assets with advanced security analytics. Those signals are integrated directly into the Defender portal for correlation and severity classification. Although Defender for Cloud is licensed separately from Defender for XDR, each extra plan enabled in Defender for Cloud adds to the detection signals streamed into Defender portal. For more information, see [Alerts and incidents in Microsoft Defender XDR](/azure/defender-for-cloud/concept-integration-365).
