Security Event Retention Policy

The Security Event Retention Policy determines how long security event data is stored before it is permanently deleted.

 

⚠️ Warning

Security events older than the defined retention period will be permanently and immediately deleted.

Steps to Configure Retention Period:

  1. Log in to the Alcatraz Admin Portal.

  2. In the left-hand menu, go to AccountsAccounts Settings.

  3. Scroll down to Account Configuration.

  4. Expand the Security Event Retention Policy section.

  5. Under Expiration Options, choose one:
    • Do not expire – Events will be kept indefinitely.

    • Retention period – Select a time frame (e.g., 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, etc.).

  6. If you choose Retention period, click the dropdown menu and select the desired time.

  7. Click Submit to apply the changes.


📝 Notes

  • Once applied, event deletions are not reversible.

  • This policy only applies to Security Events, not images or profiles. Configure those in their respective sections.
