The first question asks what happens to the alert from 05:11 PM when its status is changed to Dismissed. As shown in the image, the alert view is filtered by Active, Resolved, In Progress statuses. A Dismissed alert does not fall into any of these categories. Therefore, changing its status to dismissed would make it disappear from the current view.

The second question asks what status the alert from 12:44 PM can be changed to. The image shows that this alert is currently Resolved. While an alert's status is automatically set to Resolved when a related security recommendation is addressed, it can be manually changed to Active, In Progress, or Dismissed by a user. This is a common function in alert management systems like Microsoft Defender for Cloud, allowing for re-investigation or different types of manual closure.

Microsoft, "Manage and respond to security alerts in Microsoft Defender for Cloud," Microsoft Learn Documentation, Section 1: "Change the status of an alert" (2023). This document outlines the status management of alerts, including "Active," "In Progress," "Resolved," and "Dismissed," and explains how dismissed alerts are handled.

Microsoft, "Security alerts from Microsoft Defender for Cloud," Microsoft Learn Documentation, Section: "Alert types and severity" (2024). This provides context on how alerts are categorized by status and how filters affect their visibility in the console.

This provides an academic perspective on alert management and status filtering in SIEM systems, which aligns with Defender for Cloud’s functionality.
