Insider Risk_High User Security Incidents Correlation

Description

'This alert joins SecurityAlerts to SecurityIncidents to associate Security Alerts and Incidents with user accounts. This aligns all Microsoft Alerting Products with Microsoft Incident Generating Products (Microsoft Sentinel, M365 Defender) for a count of user security incidents over time. The default threshold is 5 security incidents, and this is customizable per the organization's requirements. Results include UserPrincipalName (UPN), SecurityIncident, LastIncident, ProductName, LastObservedTime, and Previous Incidents. There is an option for configuration of correlations against Microsoft Sentinel watchlists. For more information, see [Investigate incidents with Microsoft Sentinel]( https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/sentinel/investigate-cases).'
