15.0 Understanding Alerts

Everything that happens in your environment creates an event. Most events are everyday occurrences and do not require any action on your part. A set of similar or comparable events in a given period, however, might indicate a potential threat. For example, a change to the Windows file system or multiple failed logins within a specified time frame. Change Guardian uses alert rules to help you take appropriate actions to mitigate any problems. To receive instant notification about such potential threats, you can configure alert rules to create alerts.
