How it is used

Programs count "Device quarantined or flagged compromised" per person from Endpoint protection and read it beside the other Endpoint and device signals; it feeds 0 cohorts, 0 sequences and 2 breach scenarios.

A "device quarantined or flagged compromised" record is evidence of what reaches the person (the threat side of the model). It says nothing on its own about what the person did.
