Creating custom threats is a simple way of ensuring that you're able to track, manage and respond to threats detected outside of the Defense.com - even if they come from systems which can't be integrated with the platform.
​

  1. Log in to your Defense.com account and select Threats from the left-hand menu.

  2. Once on the Threat List page, click on the Add Custom Threat button located in the top right corner of the page.​

  3. You will now be redirected to a new page where you can input information about your custom threat. Here, you will need to enter the threat Title, Description and Risk Score.

  4. Once you have provided the basic details of your threat, it's time to add remediation tasks. These are the tasks that need to be completed to resolve the threat. Here, you will need to provide a Title and Description.

  5. If you'd like to add multiple remediation steps, you can do this by clicking Add another remediation button.

  6. Once you have provided all the necessary details about your custom threat and its remediation tasks, click on the Create threat button to create and save your threat.

  7. The threat will then be created and appear in your Threat List alongside your other threats for you to manage.
    ​

And that's it! You've successfully created a custom threat. πŸŽ‰
