# Allerta
Allerta is a notification system that gives timely alerts to any member of the account for any new vulnerability discovered based on the interests of the user.
Each user can register his preferences in terms of ecosystems, scoring thresholds (based for example on the exploitability of a vulnerability) and receive notifications daily each time Meterian detects a new vulnerability that matches such specifications.
Developers can receive alerts focused on their specifc language of interest, while security personnel can get a broader view, while receiving precise information as all notifications include the specific component and version affected.
The Allerta feature has to be enabled in the configuration of the account. Allerta sends notifications exclusively via email.
