Microsoft Defender for Office 365: Auto-Remediation of Malicious Similarity Clusters in AIR

We are expanding the auto-remediation capabilities in Automated Investigations and Response (AIR) to fully automate the remediation of malicious similarity clusters. Earlier this year, we introduced auto-remediation for malicious URL and file clusters.

This advancement significantly reduces response time and operational overhead, allowing security teams to focus on higher-priority threats.<br>GA date: December CY2025
