Quick Start Guide

Get your first alert triaged in under 5 minutes.

Prerequisites

  • An active Parapet Security account (sign up here)
  • Access to your SIEM's webhook configuration
  • (Optional) Slack workspace for notifications

Step 1: Create Your Account

  1. Go to app.parapetsecurity.com/signup
  2. Enter your email and create a password
  3. Verify your email address

Step 2: Select Your Region

During onboarding, you'll be asked to select your data region:

  • Data stored in US East (Virginia)
  • Webhook endpoint: webhook-us.parapetsecurity.com
  • Best for: US, Canada, Latin America
  • Data stored in EU West (Ireland)
  • Webhook endpoint: webhook-eu.parapetsecurity.com
  • Best for: EU, UK, Middle East, Africa
  • GDPR compliant data residency

Region Selection is Permanent

Your data region cannot be changed after account creation. Choose carefully based on your compliance requirements.

Step 3: Choose Your Plan

Select a subscription plan during onboarding:

Plan Monthly Alerts Price
Starter 1,000 $99/month
Professional 5,000 $199/month
Team 20,000 $299/month

All plans include:

  • AI-powered alert triage
  • Slack and email notifications
  • Full dashboard access
  • 30-day alert history

Step 4: Get Your Webhook URL

After completing checkout, you'll be directed to set up your SIEM connection.

  1. Navigate to Settings → Service Tokens
  2. Click Generate New Token

  3. Copy your unique webhook URL:

    https://webhook-us.parapetsecurity.com/webhook/{your-tenant-id}

Keep this URL secret

Your webhook URL contains your tenant identifier. Treat it like a password and don't share it publicly.

Step 5: Configure Your SIEM

Choose your SIEM platform and follow the specific guide:

Step 6: Verify Connection

  1. Trigger a test alert in your SIEM (or wait for a real one)
  2. Check your Parapet dashboard - the alert should appear within 30 seconds
  3. Review the AI triage analysis

You're all set!

Once you see your first alert in the dashboard, you're ready to configure notifications.

What Happens When an Alert Arrives?

    end
  1. Your SIEM sends an alert via webhook
  2. Parapet validates the request and scrubs any secrets/credentials
  3. AI normalizes the alert to a standard format (works with any SIEM)
  4. AI triages the alert with severity scoring and recommendations
  5. Dashboard updates with the new alert
  6. Notifications sent (if configured and above threshold)
