At what intervals is the Escalation Level set for monitoring?

The Escalation Level in a Secure Email Gateway (SEG) monitoring context is set at 15-minute intervals. This timeframe is often chosen to strike a balance between timely responsiveness and resource efficiency. Shorter intervals could lead to excessive resource use or alerts that may overwhelm operators, while longer intervals might delay responses to critical events that require immediate attention.

Setting the Escalation Level at 15 minutes allows for proactive monitoring and management of potential issues and threats, ensuring that the system stays responsive to changes in the volume or nature of email activity. This helps maintain optimal security measures and can significantly enhance an organization's ability to address security incidents as they arise without unnecessary delays.
