Exposure Alerts
How to choose which risk exposures and port categories notify you, from Settings → Notifications.
The Exposure Alerts card on Settings → Notifications controls which exposures Guard reports and which ones notify you. The card reads Get notified when exposures are detected.
Edit the settings
- Click Edit on the card. The button appears only for users who can manage settings.
- In Exposure Alert Settings, set each row:
- Enabled turns detection on for that exposure or category.
- Notify sends a notification when it is detected. It is available only while Enabled is on.
- Severity sets the severity of the resulting risk: Exposure, Info, Low, Medium, High, or Critical. The default is Exposure.
- Click Apply. Guard shows Exposure alerts updated.
If the modal shows Failed to load exposure settings., click Retry before changing anything, so you don't overwrite your existing configuration.
