Does Beacon only alert us of a threat? Can it also stop it?

[Mukherjee, Sraman]

Being highly impressed by the abilities of beacon and planning to integrate it into our JIRA work space - may I kindly know if Beacon's functionality is only limited to sending alerts of a threat or can it also take actions to stop it right away

Just detection, alerting...as far as I am aware/can tell. Beacon | Intelligent threat detection for Atlassian products

Thanks @Curt Holley for taking time to reply, so I just had one more quick question and it would be great if you could answer that - does Beacon only work in Jira Cloud or does it also work in Data Center?

Hi @Mukherjee, Sraman ,

As far as I know, Beacon is currently only available for Cloud instances, not for DC. Also, it's worth noting that it sits above the product (Jira/Confluence), from test-driving with it, I believe it's meant to watch over multiple instances, certainly multiple products.
