What you need to do to prepare
To ensure uninterrupted notifications, it is essential to transfer all existing notification settings to the Email Notifications page under Defender XDR settings. Please note that if incidents notifications are not set up through the XDR page, you will no longer receive alerts emails notifications after the deprecation date.
