Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps Integration Guide

Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps' activity policies allow you to enforce a wide range of automated processes using the app provider’s APIs. These policies enable you to monitor specific activities carried out by various users, or follow unexpectedly high rates of one certain type of activity. After you set an activity detection policy, it starts to generate alerts - alerts are only generated on activities that occur after you create the policy.
