Question:

What is Threat View also known as RIMC Alerts in Everbridge Suite?

Answer:

Threat View is a premium feature in Everbridge Suite that allows you to send Risk Intelligence Monitoring Center (RIMC) alerts via Notifications or Incident Communications to a contact or group of contacts. Alerts also appear on the Universe tab by default. By default, Threat View allows five thresholds to be created.
