Hi, I am a new user of Dynatrace, in fact, we just recently put it in our company.

My question is how to implement an alert that reaches our emails if a critical security vulnerability appears in our production environment?

Could someone help me or tell me the steps to follow?

Hi,

In the documentation link below it is exactly mentioned how to implement this in Dynatrace. In step 2.5 of the documentation you can simply select Email instead of Webhook for notification type.

> **[Webhook integration for security notifications](https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/secure/application-security-classic/vulnerability-analytics/security-notifications-rva/webhook-integration)**
>
> Integrate security notifications for vulnerabilities and/or attacks using webhooks.
