Set security alert recipients

Logs are useful only if someone reads them. Microsoft Defender ships high-value alerts (new forwarding rule, admin role elevation, suspicious forwarding activity) that go to nobody by default unless an admin sets email recipients. Untriaged alerts are equivalent to no detection.

A scan reports where your tenant stands on this check — pass, fail with a step-by-step fix, or not applicable if your licensing doesn’t include the feature. When Tenant Strike can’t read a setting with read-only access, it says unverified and gives you a one-command way to confirm it yourself — it never guesses.
