NETconsent Alerter is a desktop alert and internal communication tool designed to deliver critical business and security notifications directly to employee desktops in real time. Alerts are delivered within 60 seconds and can be sent immediately or scheduled in advance. Messages are categorized by urgency using a color-coded system: Blue (Standard), Orange (Important), and Red (Urgent), allowing recipients to assess the severity of a notification at a glance. Administrators and managers can target alerts to the entire organization or to specific user groups, ensuring relevance and reducing unnecessary interruptions. Permissions are role-based, restricting alert creation and distribution to authorized managers and administrators only. The tool supports a range of use cases relevant to security and IT operations, including: - Notifying employees of phishing attacks or malware detections on the network - Issuing compliance reminders (e.g., during security audits) - Communicating IT service outages without relying on email - Scheduling routine operational notifications An alert history log is available to administrators, providing visibility into who received notifications and how frequently. This supports accountability and audit requirements. Alerter is positioned as part of the broader NETconsent Compliance Suite.
