About the Preferences page

The Preferences page lets you specify various preferences for your organization.

To open the Preferences page:

  1. In Perception Point X‑Ray, in the left navigation menu, select Account > Preferences.

The Preferences page includes the following:

Preferences - General - Info

Organization name

The name of the organization.

Note:

  • After creating an organization, you can't modify the organization name - the organization name can be changed by Perception Point Support only. Contact Perception Point Support [support@perception-point.io] for assistance.

  • PAX8 customers: It is not possible to remove "PAX8" from the organization name.

Parent organization

[This option may not be visible to some admin users]

The parent organization of the current organization.

Environment

The AWS environment in which the data for your organization is stored in Perception Point X‑Ray. You'll need to know the environment when you perform certain procedures during an integration of Perception Point X‑Ray with another application, such as when you add the Perception Point X‑Ray IPs to an allow list.

Note:

  • For European organizations, you must select the EU environment to enable your Perception Point X‑Ray configuration to be GDPR compliant.

  • Don't change the environment of an existing organization. For further information, contact Perception Point Support [support@perception-point.io].

Multi-region

[Multiregion]

Enables the Perception Point X‑Ray multi-region functionality that helps to avoid data loss in the case of an AWS SES [Simple Email Service] outage - by enabling the transfer of emails between the US and EU regions in AWS. For details, see Multi-region.

Escalation contacts

The email address or addresses to which emails will be sent by Perception Point X‑Ray in case of an emergency, such as email delivery issues. The escalation contacts enable prompt resolution of urgent incidents. Providing an active 24/7 escalation contact address enables quick response to critical situations - minimizing disruptions, and ensuring the security and reliability of your account and emails.

  • Specifying escalation contacts is mandatory for all new organizations - and when you edit the Preferences for an existing organization.

  • If multiple contacts are required, then a group email address is recommended.

Important: To specify recipients of alerts regarding suspected account takeovers, see Alerts.

  • For assistance with activating or deactivating an organization, contact Perception Point Support [support@perception-point.io].

Email reported seats

This option is typically for companies that report their number of seats, and don't have direct contract with Perception Point. This option is mainly for Acronis organizations and MSSP children. Select License source <Reported seats> and add a number. From that time, the specified number will be used as the license number for billing purposes.

The number of seats that your organization will be billed for if the License source [see below] is set to Reported seats.
