  9. Under the "Actions", select the "Action group" or "Create action group" accordingly.
  10. Enter the "Alert rule name" and "Description" under the "Alert Details" and click on the "Yes" button under the "Enable rule upon creation" to quickly enable the "Security Policy Alerts". Click on the "Create alert rule" button at the bottom to create a rule.
