Getting Started
Overview
Fortworx is an AI-powered security inbox that helps organizations receive, triage, and respond to inbound security communications — from vulnerability reports to security questionnaires. This guide will help you get started.
In this guide, you will learn how to:
Set Up Your Workspace
Fortworx organizes accounts into Workspaces. You can think of a workspace as an organization, a company, or a team. When you sign up for Fortworx, you’ll go through a short onboarding flow to set up your first workspace, including naming it and configuring your inbound email.
Each workspace manages reports and settings independently. Security researchers can report vulnerabilities to your workspace by email or web form, and security questionnaires sent to your security email are automatically detected and routed.
Forward Your Security Email
The fastest way to get started is to forward your existing security email (e.g., security@yourcompany.com) to your Fortworx workspace email address. Each workspace has a unique inbound address like yourcompany@reports.fortworx.com.
- Find your workspace inbound email in Settings > Overview.
- Set up email forwarding from your security email to your workspace inbound email.
- Optionally, set up a custom email so outbound replies come from your domain.
Send a Test Report
Once your workspace is set up, send a test email to your workspace inbound address to see how Fortworx works. It doesn’t matter what the email contains — once received, Fort AI will analyze the email, classify it, and create a report on your dashboard.
Start Receiving Reports
You can now start receiving reports from security researchers. Advertise your security email address on your website and you’re ready to go.
You can also enable a web form to allow structured submissions, including anonymous reports. See the next guides for more on receiving and managing reports.
