To help your security personnel respond quickly to a specific scenario, you can define
a threat level.
What you should know
CAUTION: The system does not clear a threat level automatically. Explicitly define
the actions that are triggered when the scenario ends.
Procedure
-
Open the System task. In General settings,
click the Threat levels tab.
-
At the bottom of the threat level list, click Add an item
(
).
-
In the Threat level configuration dialog box, enter the
Name, Description, Logical
ID (optional), and Color of the threat level.
Tip: Select a unique color for each threat level. When the threat level is set
at the system level, users can easily recognize it because the background of Operation
desktop corresponds to the color of the threat level.
-
Configure the threat level Activation actions.
The system performs these actions when the threat level is set, regardless of the
user’s privileges and permissions.
-
Configure the threat level Deactivation actions.
The system triggers these actions when the threat level is cleared or replaced by
another, regardless of the user's privileges and permissions.
-
Click OK.
A new threat level (

) appears on the threat level list.
-
Click Apply.
After you finish
Ensure that all users who need to set threat levels have the
required privileges. For privilege requirements, see About
threat levels in Security Center SaaS.
- To check which threat level and security clearance are assigned to each area, use the
System status task.
- To find out when threat levels were set and cleared, and by whom, use the
Activity trails task.
