Mobile alerting with tracking & escalation for FortiMonitor
Why SIGNL4
FortiMonitor can send out alerts, but all too often the emails that are sent from critical events are missed. SIGNL4 ensures that all on duty members receive, acknowledge and resolve those critical alerts, all from their smartphones. With persistent notifications and escalation chains there will never be a critical alert that goes unattended. SIGNL4 also offers ad-hoc collaboration between team members for each and every alert, so subject matter experts can be looped in to help resolve issues.
How it Works
SIGNL4 team email address establishes connection with FortiMonitor to enable mobile notification and alerting capabilities for operational and network teams.
