Create Regions
Publish alerts to specific regions for targeted communication of information.
What is a region?
A region is a custom grouping of member locations that share common operational or cybersecurity characteristics. Regions may represent countries, a group of countries, or any set of active locations relevant to your organization. Defining regions helps you analyze and address cybersecurity threats, vulnerabilities, regulations, and best practices within that specific area.
For example, you can create regions such as North America, APAC, Pacific Northwest Offices, or Manufacturing Sites to better manage targeted dissemination of alerts.
Where can I use regions?
You can use regions to publish alerts that are relevant to specific geographic areas or groups of locations. This ensures that security information is shared only with members who are most affected. For example, if a regulation applies only to offices in the Pacific Northwest, you can define that region and share compliance-related alerts accordingly.
Before you Start
You must have the View, Create, and Update permissions for Region.
Steps
To create a new region, follow these steps:
Go to Administration > Settings > Member Settings > Location > Region.
Click Create and use the following information:
Region Name: Enter a unique region name. For example, North America.
Location: Select one or more active locations from the dropdown. Only members in the selected locations are included in the region.
Note
You can attach a location to more than one region. However, you cannot create another region with the exact same set of locations.
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
Edit regions to keep them up to date with your organizational needs. Hover over a region, click the vertical ellipsis, and click Edit. You can change the region name, update member locations, or change the active status of the region.
Filter the list by active or inactive status, or use search to find a region quickly.
