What type of issues can alerts in Defender PAM help administrators respond to?

Alerts in Defender PAM are specifically designed to assist administrators in identifying and responding to policy violations and suspicious activities. The primary focus of these alerts is to protect sensitive data and ensure compliance with organizational security policies. For instance, if a user attempts to access resources they are not authorized to, or if there are unusual patterns of behavior that may indicate a security threat, the system generates alerts that help administrators take immediate action to mitigate risks.

This focus on monitoring for compliance and security ensures that any deviations from established protocols are swiftly addressed, thereby maintaining the integrity and security of the environment. By concentrating on policy violations and suspicious activities, Defender PAM provides a clear mechanism for proactive security management, enabling security teams to respond to potential threats before they can escalate into serious breaches.

In contrast, issues like hardware malfunctions, software installation requests, and general user feedback do not fall under the purview of security alerts from Defender PAM. These areas are typically managed through different processes and systems dedicated to technical support and user experience, rather than the security-focused alerts that Defender PAM provides.
