Define an outbreak by the number of detections and the detection period. Apex One triggers an outbreak alert when the number of detections exceeds the configured value during the detection period.

Apex One comes with a set of default notification messages that inform you and other Apex One administrators of an outbreak. You can modify the notifications and configure additional notification settings as required.

Note:

Apex One can send security risk outbreak notifications through email, SNMP trap, and Windows NT Event logs. For shared folder session outbreaks, Apex One sends notifications through email. Configure settings when Apex One sends notifications through these channels.
