To notify administrators when manual remediation is required on an endpoint, the administrator should set up aSingle Risk Event notificationin SEP, with the action specified as"Left Alone". This configuration allows SEP to alert administrators only when the system does not automatically handle a detected risk, indicating that further manual intervention is required.

Setting Up the Notification:

Navigate toNotificationsin the SEP management console.

SelectSingle Risk Eventas the notification type and specify"Left Alone"for the action taken.

Enable options to log the notification and send an email alert to system administrators.

Rationale:

This approach ensures that administrators are only alerted when SEP detects a threat but cannot automatically remediate it, signaling a need for manual review and action.

Other options (e.g., System event notification, New risk detected) are broader and may trigger alerts unnecessarily, rather than focusing on cases needing manual attention.

References: Setting up targeted notifications, such as Single Risk Event with “Left Alone” action, is a best practice in SEP for efficient incident management​.
