Advanced Threat Protection is a catch-all term for a service that alerts you when particular types of events are detected in your database. These events range from possible SQL injection, to access from an unusual location or login, to when an unusually high number of failed login attempts are recorded.
The SQL injection alert is raised when an application executes faulty SQL against the database. I guess the assumption is that programmatically generated SQL should be correct unless it has been nefariously tampered with. While none of these features are magical, it is a very easy and convenient way to monitor anomalous behavior.
To set up advanced threat detection, go into your database and turn on Advanced Data Security, then towards the bottom of the page, under Advanced Threat Protection Settings, you can go and select which of the advanced threat protection options you want to enable, then click Save.
