Setting Up and Managing Alert Profiles
A quick reaction to a cybersecurity event is vital for security specialists. To provide your system with the attention it needs, security experts must receive notification fast, when an issue arises. Cloud-based Razberi Monitor software provides a top-down view of physical security, allowing your team to oversee the entire network.
Setting up Razberi alert profiles supports network security by enabling you to customize alarms for different devices, locations, and event types. This powerful feature helps solve issues quickly by sending alerts to specific personnel or distribution lists.
Let’s dig deeper into Razberi’s alert profiles.
Understanding Alert Profiles
Profiles help manage where alerts go. Setting up profiles strengthens security in three important ways:
- The right people get the right security notifications
- Attacks and/or repairs are quickly identified
- The network receives prompt attention
With Razberi, alerts can be sent when devices inside your physical security system go offline or act out of their ordinary status. You can customize which profiles receive notifications and whether they go to an individual or a distribution group.
Decide which alert types to include – Alerts for hardware and network performance, device health, and cybersecurity. For every person on your team, from facilities management to IT, you can create customize alert types.
Select how to send notification – Email, SMS phone alerts, individual users with Monitor cloud accounts… With Razberi alert profiles, you can transmit an alert to virtually anyone who needs to see it.
The best part is you’re free to use preferred or existing network components. Devices don’t need to be running ComNet or Razberi machines to work with Razberi Monitor. You could be using SSIQ, Core, or even a third-party server.
