Create Regions
Publish alerts to specific regions for targeted communication of information.
What is a region?
A region refers to a specific geographic area or grouping of countries that share certain characteristics related to cybersecurity. This categorization helps you analyze and address cybersecurity threats, vulnerabilities, regulations, and best practices within a particular area. Examples of regions are North America, APAC, EMEA and others.
Where can I use regions?
You can use regions to publish alerts specifically to a region. For example, if there is a ransomware that is specifically designed to exploit vulnerabilities commonly found in the systems and networks used in the APAC region, you create and publish an alert to the countries in the APAC region.
Before you Start
You must have the View, Create, and Update permissions for Region.
Steps
To create a new region, do the following:
Navigate to Administration > Settings > Member Settings > Location > Region and click Create.
Enter the region name. For example, North America.
Select a country, or a group of countries that are part of this region.
Note
Countries that are not previously selected for other regions appear in the dropdown list to avoid overlapping of regions.
Click Create to create the region. Ensure you have turned on the Active toggle to activate the region. You can only use active regions while creating alerts.
Manage Regions
You can update the region name, country and the status of existing regions by hovering over the region, clicking the vertical ellipsis, and clicking Edit.
Use the filters to view regions by their status (active or inactive) and search for regions.
