With this feature, IRM analysts can identify if the user being investigated has any compromise user alerts in Microsoft Entra. This will help them formulate the right response action, like escalating the Incident to SOC teams for quick remediation, etc. Microsoft Entra offers two types of compromised user detections:
1. Sign in risk detections – Compromise risk associated with a specific sign-in.
2. User risk detections – Compromise risk associated with a specific user. – Insider risk management admins can opt into each of the above risk detections from Insider risk management global settings. – Risk detections will be available in the indicator timeline within the alert investigation experience. – Risk detections will not impact the risk score or severity of Insider risk management alerts.
