Service Level Agreements (SLAs) in Seqrite XDR define the expected timelines for handling and addressing security incidents. They establish measurable commitments for how quickly incidents must be investigated, remediated, and closed. By setting clear deadlines, SLAs help security teams prioritize tasks, track progress, and ensure consistent response across different types of threats.
With Seqrite XDR , SLAs are often configurable by incident type and severity. For example, a phishing alert may require investigation within 2 hours, while a malware outbreak could demand immediate containment. SLA timers are displayed in the grid, and notifications are triggered if deadlines are approaching or breached, ensuring that no incident is overlooked.
