Enable threat protection for AI workloads (preview)
Threat protection for AI workloads in Microsoft Defender for Cloud protects AI workloads on an Azure subscription by providing insights to threats that might affect your generative AI applications.
Important
Threat protection for AI workloads is currently in preview. See the Supplemental Terms of Use for Microsoft Azure Previews for legal terms that apply to Azure features that are in beta, preview, or otherwise not yet released into general availability.

We recommend not opting out of prompt-based triggered alerts for Azure OpenAI content filtering. Opting out and removing that capability can affect Defender for Cloud's ability to monitor and detect such attacks.

Enable user prompt evidence
With the AI workloads threat protection plan enabled, you can control whether alerts include suspicious segments directly from your user's prompts, or the model responses from your AI applications or resources. Enabling user prompt evidence helps you to triage and classify alerts and your user's intentions.
User prompt evidence consists of prompts and model responses. Both are considered your data. Evidence is available through the Azure portal, Defender portal, and any attached partners integrations.
