To filter security alerts for unusual activities in your Azure subscription, which severity level should you select for certain alerts?

Selecting the medium severity level for filtering security alerts in your Azure subscription is appropriate for identifying unusual activities that may not pose an immediate threat but warrant attention. Alerts categorized as medium severity often indicate behavior that deviates from normal patterns and could suggest potential vulnerabilities or risks that need to be monitored. This level helps security teams prioritize alerts that require further investigation without overwhelming them with low-severity notifications.

By focusing on medium severity alerts, security analysts can effectively allocate their resources towards monitoring and addressing issues that may escalate if left unattended. They can proactively investigate these alerts to determine if any action is needed, thereby improving overall security posture without being distracted by more trivial notifications. This approach supports comprehensive threat management and risk assessment strategies within the security operations framework.
