Security Contacts in Now Support (HI) - Support and Troubleshooting

Security Contacts in Now Support (HI) Issue  The security contact field enables the ServiceNow Security Office (SSO) to directly communicate with customer security personnel on security-related issues. Specifically, security contacts are critical for the communication of security alerts and security events (for example, breach notification, etc.), and threat intelligence information that could impact customer data.

Please ensure this contact information is always kept up to date.

Who is an ideal security contact? The Security Contact must meet the criteria below and cannot be the same as the Customer Admin in NOW Support (HI).

ServiceNow recommends that the named security contacts:

In addition, we recommend that an incident response/SOC distribution list is also included to ensure that urgent communications are always received without undue delay.
