Using the example of the Azure security centre, intelligent security tools and advanced analytics are studied to detect threats faster and reduce the number of false threat alerts. The use of the proposed recommendations on cybersecurity policy will significantly increase the level of information security (confidentiality, integrity and availability) of business.
