Data from Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is retained for 180 days, visible across the portal. However, in the advanced hunting investigation experience, it's accessible via a query for a period of 30 days. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/data-storage-privacy?view=o365-worldwide#how-long-will-microsoft-store-my-data-what-is-microsofts-data-retention-policy

"Alerts are displayed in the portal for 90 days, even if the resource related to the alert was deleted during that time. This is because the alert might indicate a potential breach to your organization that needs to be further investigated." - from: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/defender-for-cloud/alerts-overview

sergioandreslqOption: D

I went to defender portal--> blade alerts --> time period and I can go back 6 months. my answer is D: 6 months

sergioandreslq

I re-confirm in defender portal that action center is 6 months. Defender-->Actions&Submitions-->Action Center--> History tab--> Select the time to see and export. the issue with this question is that Microsoft upgrade the service from 3 months to 6 months few months ago and exist the risk that this answer is now updated to 6 months, so, it is a risk either to choose 3 months or 6 months because we don't know if this is updated or not.
