What action should be taken if you want to ensure proactive monitoring of Azure security alerts?

To ensure proactive monitoring of Azure security alerts, enabling automatic remediation actions in Security Center is a pivotal approach. This capability allows organizations to automatically respond to specific alerts, which significantly enhances the speed and efficiency of threat resolution. By automating responses to common security signals, you mitigate the risk of human error and reduce the time it takes to address vulnerabilities or breaches. This ongoing, automated vigilance means that potential security issues are not just detected but actively addressed without the need for constant manual oversight.

While other options like setting up email notifications, conducting security assessments, and reviewing security policies are important aspects of a comprehensive security strategy, they do not provide the same level of immediate action or integration as automatic remediation. Email notifications require manual intervention to respond to alerts, security assessments often occur on a periodic basis rather than continuously, and policy reviews, while essential, do not have an impact on real-time alert responses. Thus, enabling automatic remediation stands out as the most effective action for proactive monitoring in this context.
