description-detailed: |
  Automated Investigation and Response (AIR) can remediate malicious mail after delivery. This query counts automated remediation events by result over time, deduplicated to the latest event per message and recipient, so SOC teams can see whether automated remediation is succeeding and spot spikes in failures that warrant attention.
  Query is also included as part of the Defender for Office 365 solution in Sentinel: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/microsoftdefenderforoffice365blog/part-2-build-custom-email-security-reports-and-dashboards-with-workbooks-in-micr/4411303
