In this quick how to guide, I am going to show you how to set up Azure Security Center to send you an email when a high severity security alert happens. This is a subscription level setting, so if you have more than one subscription make sure you make this change on them all.
Enough talk, lets get some email alerts!
In the Azure portal navigate to the Security Center. In here under Policy & Compliance on the left click Security policy.
Now click on the Edit settings > on the subscription you would like to set this setting on.
Click on Email notifications. Enter an Email Address and then under Email notification settings click on On for Send email notification for high severity alerts and then click Save.
And that’s it, you will now receive emails when High severity alerts happen in Azure Security Center. I hope you found this quick how to helpful. If you have any questions please reach out.

Hello Richard,
The article is very helpful to configure the email notification for High severity alerts.
I want to know that can we can configure for medium alerts as well.
Thanks,
Rajashekar N.

Hello,
The query I use is:
SecurityAlert
| where AlertSeverity == “Medium”
| project TimeGenerated, DisplayName, AlertSeverity, Description, IsIncident, ExtendedProperties, RemediationSteps
I then create an Azure Monitor alert to send an email when the number of results is greater than 0.
Hope that helps. Perhaps i should do a blog post on this.

When did you publish this blog (a article/blog should always display a creation date in my opinion).
Anyway, the above no longer works as the email configuration has moved to pricing&settings: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/security-center/security-center-provide-security-contact-details
