# Security Event Notifications {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated March 12, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
View, manage, and analyze the default security event notification policies on your ServiceNow instance, as well as access the functionality to create custom policies.

Access Security Event Notifications from the Security Center homepage by opening the Security Monitoring Console in the Security Consoles section, then selecting the
Security Event Notifications tab.

Customize and create notification policies that trigger email notifications when users perform actions in the ServiceNow AI Platform that might be insecure or require admin monitoring.

Admins can customize the values for the default policies, clone, and edit default policies or create their own custom ones.

## Security policies {#security-policies__section_th3_4m1_ccc}

The Security Event Notifications console displays important information regarding the security policies on your instance. This table includes columns displaying:{#security-policies__table_gfh_dbt_wbc__entry__2}

| Label | Description |
|-|-|
| Name | The name of the security event notification policy. |
| Status | The status of a policy can be either active or inactive. |
| Updated | The date and time of when the policy was last updated. |
| Updated by | The user that updated a policy. |
| Last triggered on | The date and time the policy last ran. |
| Triggered count last week | The number of triggers a policy generated the past 7 days. |
| Percentage change | The rate of change for weekly triggers, calculated as a percentage. Note: For example, if this policy triggers an average of 5 notifications a week and it triggered 10 times last week, that would be a percentage increase of 100%. |
