Real-time breach alerts for managed devices

By the SkieOS team · Updated 11 November 2026 · 5 min read

In short

A breach alert tells the responsible people immediately when a device tries to get around its rules or stops reporting. Good alerts are routed by role and group, name the exact device, and let you sync or resolve in one step.

What counts as a breach

  • An attempted factory reset or safe mode
  • An unapproved app installed, then removed
  • A setting changed or an attempt to change it
  • A device that stops reporting for longer than expected

We do not promise nothing will happen

No system can promise that attempts never occur. What matters is that when one does, the right person knows at once, with the device, the time and what was tried.

Who should receive what

Route alerts by group. A teacher sees their class, a head sees their branch, a principal sees the school. This keeps alerts relevant and avoids fatigue.

Acting on an alert

  • Sync the device to confirm its state
  • Resolve the alert once it is clean, or with a note
  • Escalate repeated attempts through your policy

Frequently asked questions

How fast are alerts?

Alerts are raised as soon as the device reports the event, or when it goes silent beyond its limit.

Can alerts go to several levels?

Yes. They are visible to the people responsible for that group and the levels above.

Can I resolve an alert from the dashboard?

Yes. You can sync a device and resolve the alert in one tap.
