# Alerts

> Learn how Plerion alerts work and deliver them through the dashboard, Email, Slack, Jira, or Sentinel.

## Overview

Plerion generates an alert when an asset matches conditions defined in a workflow.\
Each alert provides context on the security issue and recommended remediation steps so your team can respond quickly.

### Features

* Each alert maps to a single asset that matches a workflow condition.
* Alerts update automatically when asset properties change (e.g. vulnerability count, sensitivity etc.).
* Alerts close when the asset no longer matches workflow conditions.
* View alerts in the **Alerts dashboard** or send them through outbound integrations such as Email, Slack, Jira, or Sentinel.

## Alerts dashboard

The **Alerts dashboard** centralizes all alerts across your tenant’s environments, helping teams investigate and act on security issues.
