Incidents

Triage Microsoft Defender security incidents across your Microsoft 365 tenants.

Security incidents raised in Microsoft Defender for the selected tenant, each one grouping the related alerts behind a single case. Work the queue from here: take an incident, move it through its statuses, adjust its severity, and open it in the Defender portal when you need the full attack story.

Filters

A date filter sits above the table. Set a Start Date, an End Date, or both, then select Apply to reload the table for that window. Leaving one side empty makes the window open ended in that direction. Clear removes the filter and returns every incident.

The page opens with the filter already set to the last 30 days, so an unfiltered view is something you ask for rather than what you land on.

Description

Created

When the incident was raised.

Where the incident sits in triage, as reported by Defender. The table actions move it between active, in progress and resolved.

The Extended Info flyout adds the last updated time, the classification and determination recorded on the incident, and the redirect identifier, which is filled in when Defender has merged this incident into another one.

Selecting All Tenants queues a background job that collects incidents from every tenant, and the page tells you it is still loading. Come back in a few minutes for a complete list.
