Accounts
Overview
In FireScope SPM, Accounts represent divisions of your business. Depending on your company’s size and structure, an Account can be a region, location, department, or branch, for example, or any category that makes sense in your environment. As a hosted service, FireScope SPM can host multiple accounts in the same cloud instance and provide true multi-tenancy in a secured and scalable environment. Each account can be a separate customer.
FireScope SPM CMI interface will provide summarized reports and views focusing on individual accounts or view the operational health of the SPM cloud infrastructure.
