When your inventory is discovered and ingested, our system automatically generates findings. These findings highlight specific details about your inventory, such as security issues or configuration errors. Depending on the number of APIs and the findings discovered, you might end up with a large number of findings, some of which may be low priority for your particular requirements.

To help you manage these findings effectively, you can set up incident policies. An incident policy allows you to define thresholds, such as triggering an incident when critical findings are identified. When this happens, an alert can be sent to your preferred integration, notifying you of the incident and enabling you to take timely action.
