Accounts

Configuring accounts in SPM to enable separation of data within your company or among tenants.

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.
