Elements Exposure Management (XM)
A collection of short easy steps to get started in taking the product into use
Follow the steps below to get started with the product.
Step 1 - Creating a WithSecure™ Business Account
You need a WithSecure™ Business Account to access WithSecure™ Elements Security Center, which is the unified management platform for managing all WithSecure™ Elements products. There are two scenarios:
- When you purchase the product from a WithSecure partner, the partner typically creates a Business Account for the first administrator in your organization. If this applies to you, you have received an email from WithSecure with a temporary password and a link to log in to Elements Security Center.
- If your account has not yet been created, but you have received a subscription key from your partner, you can use the subscription key to create a WithSecure™ Business account for the first administrator in your organization. To do that, use the company self-registration link for your specific region:
- For Europe, Middle-East, and Africa: https://emea.epp.elements.withsecure.com/#/create-company-account
- For America: https://amer.epp.elements.withsecure.com/#/create-company-account
- For Asia Pacific: https://apac.epp.elements.withsecure.com/#/create-company-account
- For Europe, Middle-East, and Africa: https://emea.epp.elements.withsecure.com/#/create-company-account
Browse to https://elements.withsecure.com/self-register and provide an email and the subscription key you received with your purchase to create the first administrative account.
