Working with the Escalation Call List

  • Last updated on

EscalationCallList.png

The escalation call list is a list of phone numbers that Barracuda XDR SOC will call if a high-impact alert is detected.

If a high-impact alert is detected, the XDR SOC calls the numbers according to the order they are displayed on this page. Each account can have its own custom call list, but it is more common to have the same contacts for all customers.

We recommend adding 5 or fewer contacts to this list, focusing on the most relevant contacts.

Using the Notes field

You can use the notes field to add additional useful information. We suggest using the notes field for information that would be useful to the XDR SOC trying to contact the user, such as:

  • To specify shifts or business hours. For example, “M–F 9 am–5 pm Pacific” or “Nights & weekends”.

  • To supply instructions. For example, “Try each above number. If no response, leave a voicemail at this one.”

  • To add additional details about people, such as title or role.
