Creating a BEC profile

Creating a BEC profile

  1. Go to and click New.

  2. Assign a particular Domain if required, or system-wide.

  3. Enter a Profile name.

  4. Under Rule, click New.

  5. Enter a Name for the rule, and select an appropriate Action.
  6. Note the Threshold value. This can be increased or decreased to avoid false-positive results, and provide more granular control for how targeted attacks are detected.

    Note

    Note that the threshold is not the sum total of all the categories. While the threshold and category scores are all customizable, the threshold score should equal or be less than the sum total of the categories.

    If the threshold score is greater than the sum total of the categories, then the threshold will never be triggered.

  7. For this example, under Score Allocation, set Action keyword to 20, providing a greater score allocation for emails that contain action keywords.

  8. Click Create and OK to create the rule and BEC profile.

  9. Note

    Multiple rules can be created for each BEC profile.

To configure this step in the CLI Console instead, go to Dashboard > Console and enter the following:

config profile bec

edit <name>

config rule

edit <order-integer>

set action-keyword-score 20

set name action-keyword

next

end

end
