Enable security banner announcements and notifications to stay informed about urgent and critical security alerts using high visibility banners visible to administrators within the instance UI.

Security banner announcements and notifications are announcements that are sent by ServiceNow and displayed to customer administrators with the **sn\_vsc.security\_center\_admin** role, to keep you informed about fixes for potential security threats that were discovered recently. These alerts contain a summary of the security risk and include a link where you can learn more and act to secure your instance.

Administrators can dismiss banner by selecting the close \(x\) button, but the banner re-appears with each new session until the banner expiration date is passed. Administrators can disable banner announcements by setting the **sn\_vsc.configure\_customer\_push\_action** system property value to `false`. The duration for which the banner appears is controlled by **Start** and **End** field values for the banner. These fields are found in banner's record in the Banner Announcement \[sys\_ux\_banner\_announcement\] table.

## Enable or disable security banner announcements

The security banner feature is enabled by default. To enable or disable security banner announcements, navigate to **System Security** > **Security Center** > **Notifications**. From this page, select the **Manage announcement settings** button.
