Cross-network protection functionality within the Alert Logic® console allows you to leverage the appliance installed in one network to protect other networks under the same account. The following information walks you through configuring this protection and, if necessary, removing the connection from a network.
This functionality has prerequisites:
- Only available in manual deployments of Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and data centers
- Appliances and agents must be installed in applicable networks
- Networks must be within the same Alert Logic customer account
- Hosts from the networks must already be able to connect with one another

) and navigate to Configure (or Configuration) > Deployments > desired manual deployment > Protection > Options.
- From the topology view in Options, click on the agent-deployed network that you would like to be protected by another network.
- Within the search bar, find the appliance-deployed network that you would like to do the protecting by either searching for its name or clicking on the search bar and scrolling through the network options that appear. Click on the desired network name.
