Microsoft Security Operations Analyst Associate SC-200 Practice Question
You are building a custom detection rule in Microsoft Defender XDR based on an advanced hunting query that returns the columns DeviceName, TimeGenerated, and FileName. You want any alerts that the rule produces to be automatically grouped with existing incidents that already involve the same device. During rule creation, which configuration should you apply to meet this requirement?
On the Set alert logic step, set the alert threshold to trigger only after one or more matches are found.
On the Entity mapping step of the rule wizard, map the DeviceName column to the Device entity.
On the General information step, enable the By entities option under Alert grouping.
On the Actions step, select Isolate device as an automated response.
Microsoft Defender XDR groups related alerts into a single incident when they share common entities such as devices, users, or IP addresses. In the custom detection rule wizard, the Entity mapping step lets you associate columns in your query with these entity types. By mapping the DeviceName column to the Device entity, the alerting engine recognises the device involved and can merge new alerts with incidents that reference the same device. Setting an alert threshold, choosing an automated response, or enabling a non-existent alert-grouping option does not influence this correlation behaviour.
