Which feature of Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps can be configured to alert users about potential data breaches?

The feature that can be configured to alert users about potential data breaches is based on anomaly detection policies related to user behavior. This functionality is crucial in identifying unusual or suspicious activities that may indicate a security threat or a potential data breach. By analyzing user behavior patterns, Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps can detect deviations from the norm, such as unusual file access, abnormal login locations, or atypical data sharing practices.

When such anomalies are detected, alerts can be generated to inform users and security teams, enabling them to investigate and respond to potential breaches swiftly. This proactive approach to security helps organizations protect sensitive data and reduces the risk of data loss or unauthorized access.

The other options do contribute to security but do not directly alert users regarding potential data breaches in the same manner:

Audit logs for network traffic provide valuable insights into network activities but do not actively alert users of anomalies. Automatic data encryption at rest protects data by ensuring it is unreadable without proper keys, but it does not monitor behavior or notify users of suspicious activities. Regular system updates across applications ensure that software is protected from known vulnerabilities but do not provide real-time behavioral monitoring or alerts regarding data breaches.
