Introduction

SafeGuard™ is accessed through the Vertex web UI on the radar. A more detailed description of the Vertex UI can be found in the Vertex User Guide. You will need to login into Vertex using the default user account. Although Vertex will work in most modern HTML 5 compatible browsers, we only recommend Google Chrome for SafeGuard™.
