Sites and Regions

In Netskope IoT Security, each appliance has a site and a unique site-ID. You can assign multiple appliance-IDs to a single site. Multiple sites make a region, thereby creating a hierarchy of sites.

Default site and Organization region is predefined in the appliance and you can not modify it. By default, any site created is assigned to the Organization region and any IoT Security appliance created is assigned to the Default site.

Warning

You can not modify the Default site and Organization region.

Navigate to Manage > Sites and Regions menu. You will see site and regions hierarchy structure on the left side of the screen while the list of appliances in a list with the status and other details on the right side of the screen.
