Which filters should a security analyst apply in the Microsoft Defender XDR portal to view assigned incidents?

To effectively view assigned incidents in the Microsoft Defender XDR portal, it's crucial to focus on both the current state of those incidents and their assignment status. By selecting the filter for status as "Active," the security analyst ensures they are only viewing incidents that require attention and are currently unresolved.

Filtering incidents by "Incident assignment: Assigned to me" further refines the results to show only those incidents that the security analyst is responsible for managing. This dual filtering allows the analyst to concentrate efforts on live cases that are within their purview, facilitating efficient incident response and management.

Other options do not necessarily reflect the most effective strategy for viewing pending incidents. For example, filtering by severity or category could include incidents that are either not urgent or outside the analyst's current responsibilities. This could lead to a more cumbersome experience when seeking to manage assigned tasks effectively.
