Security groups

The Admin > Alarm Monitor > Security Groups page can be used to create, edit, and manage security groups, which allow similar devices to be quickly added to FA algorithm inclusion lists.

Once an FA algorithm is added to a security group, it is enabled for all exporters assigned to that group. Changes to group membership are also automatically applied to the inclusion lists of associated algorithms.

Hint

The default Firewalls, Core Exporters, Edge Exporters, and Defender Probes security groups are predefined as inclusions for the recommended FA algorithms and need only be populated with the specified device type.

New security groups can be added by clicking the + button in the main view. Membership and enabled algorithms for existing groups can be edited at any time.

Adding exporters to a security group

To add exporters to an existing security group, follow these steps:

  1. Click the security group to open the configuration tray.

  2. Expand the Active Exporters of the tray and click the Add button.

    Hint

    To remove an exporter from the group, click the Delete icon in the list.

  3. In the secondary tray, use the checkboxes to select the exporters to add.

  4. Click the Add button to assign all selected exporters to the group.

Any algorithms enabled for the security group will automatically be enabled for the new exporters added.

Hint

To add exporters to multiple security groups, select the groups in the main view and click the Bulk Actions button.

Enabling algorithms for a security group

To enable FA algorithms for an existing security group, follow these steps:

  1. Click the security group to open the configuration tray.

  2. Expand the Algorithms of the tray and click the Add button.

    Hint

    To disable an algorithm for the group, click the Delete icon in the list.

  3. In the secondary tray, use the checkboxes to select the algorithms to enable.

  4. Click the Add button to enable all selected algorithms for the group.

New algorithms added will automatically be enabled for all exporters in the security group.

Hint

To enable algorithms for multiple security groups, select the groups in the main view and click the Bulk Actions button.
