Enhanced Security-Related Alerts

Enhanced security related alerts allow you to configure your security notifications to be more prominent in your Samsara dashboard. With enhanced visibility enabled for security alerts, your Fleet Overview ( ) displays a red banner for 24 hours and allows you to dismiss and manage alerts directly from the red banner.

The following alert types are available for enhanced security alert notifications:
