# Modify security event notification policies

Modify the settings of your security event notification policies to align with your organization's requirements.

2.  Select **policy settings** to change the settings.

3.  Select **Update** to save your changes.

4.  Select **deactivate** until you are ready to start triggering notifications.

5.  Start triggering notifications by selecting **Activate**.
