# Vulnerability notifications

Depending on the severity of the detected vulnerabilities, Stoïk proactively alerts you by email (critical vulnerabilities), or allows you to configure your monthly notifications individually (other vulnerabilities).

{% hint style="info" %}
The information shared is technical. It is therefore intended for your IT teams or your IT service provider, who will correct the vulnerability for you.

To do this, invite them to the platform from the Settings > Users > Invite a user
{% endhint %}

## Prevention tools

* Monthly summary email: An automated email is sent to you on the first of each month, summarizing your activity on Stoïk Protect.
* Critical or High vulnerability notification: If a critical vulnerability is detected on your external network, Stoïk will contact you manually by email, and offer personalized support to resolve it as quickly as possible.
* External Scan report: Users who enabled this option receive an automated email with the External Scan report after each weekly scan, summarizing the vulnerabilities detected on your external surface. It is enabled per user from `Settings` > `Users` (see [User access management](/onboarding/account/users.md)).

## Managed services

* Monthly summary email: Identical to the Stoïk Protect email, it is sent to you on the first Monday of each month.
* EDR confirmed alert: If a confirmed threat is detected, Stoïk SOC will send you an email with the alert details and recommended actions.
* Critical Alert: In the event of a major incident requiring immediate action, Stoïk SOC will call you directly.

{% hint style="info" %}
The email address used for manual notifications by Stoik is <alerts@stoik.io>.

The email address used for automatic notifications is <protect@stoik.io>.\
\
**Warning:** any other email address is a potential phishing attempt.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.stoik.io/onboarding/notifications.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
