Notify

Notifies users whose messages violate a policy

Nightfall allows you to customize notifications sent via Slack. You can do so by navigating to the Slack settings tab in the console. Edit the customize end-user notifications section and you can specify your organization's security policy to coach end-users on acceptable use of sensitive data.

End-User Remediation Notifications

If you have enabled Slack as a notification option in the Automation section, end users receive a Slack notification about the violation caused by their messages. Additionally, if you have also enabledEnd-User Remediation actions, the end-user who sent a message with sensitive data can take remediation action by themselves. The remediation actions are available at the end of the Slack message. The available remediation actions depend on the settings configured by Nightfall admins in the End-User Remediation section.

The actions available for a Nightfall admin are totally different from those available to an end-user and do not depend on the settings configured in the End-User Remediation section.
