Description

Enables emailing attack paths to the subscription owner or other designated security contact.

Rationale

Enabling attack path emails ensures that attack path emails are sent by Microsoft. This ensures that the right people are aware of any potential security issues and can mitigate the risk.

Impact

Enabling attack path emails can cause alert fatigue, increasing the risk of missing important alerts. Select an appropriate risk level to manage notifications. Azure aims to reduce alert fatigue by limiting the daily email volume per risk level.
