## Register for Security Updates

To keep your Exchange Reporter Plus instance secure, the ManageEngine security team will use the registered contact details to notify you of important security updates. By registering the contact information of your operations or security team, you can ensure timely delivery of these updates.

Previously, security updates were sent only to licensed email addresses. Going forward, they will also be delivered to registered email addresses. These updates cover both internal and external vulnerabilities and will be sent to both the primary and secondary registered email addresses.

When vulnerabilities are identified, they are resolved within defined timelines. Critical vulnerabilities are fixed within 24 hours, while high-risk vulnerabilities are typically resolved within 10 days. Administrators will be notified once each issue has been addressed. In certain cases, proactive measures taken to safeguard against potential public vulnerabilities will also be communicated to registered email addresses.

The registration process ensures that only verified contacts receive updates. For this registration, a verification link will be sent to the provided email address. This link must be confirmed within 7 days; otherwise, security updates will not be delivered. To ensure uninterrupted delivery, registered email addresses must be re-verified every 365 days. The information provided will be used exclusively for sending security updates.

With this enhancement, security updates are no longer limited to licensed email addresses but are also delivered to registered contacts. This ensures that the right teams receive timely notifications, allowing administrators to respond quickly to vulnerabilities and maintain a stronger security posture.

## URL Settings

This option enables you to enter the EWS URL that defines the EWS connection endpoint of your Exchange Server organization. If this field is left empty, then the default EWS URL will be used.

To set the EWS URL:

1. Click the Settings tab.
2. Navigate to Admin > General Settings > Product Settings > URL Settings.
3. Under URL Settings, enter the EWS URL of your Exchange Server.
4. Click Save.
