Quickstart

Get started with Sentry and begin monitoring your organization's security posture immediately.

Account Setup

1

Sign Up or Log In

Visit the Sentry platform and create your account. If your organization already uses Sentry, request an invitation from your administrator.

2

Create Your Organization

Set up your first organization with a name and basic details. Each organization receives a unique security identifier for isolated monitoring.

3

Invite Your Team

Add team members with appropriate roles (Owner, Admin, Member, or Viewer) to collaborate on security monitoring.

Essential First Steps

1. Enable Two-Factor Authentication

Secure your account by enabling 2FA in Account Settings → Security.

2. Add Verified Domains

Navigate to Domain Management and add your organization's domains to monitor:

  • Web application domains

  • API endpoints

  • Documentation sites

  • Marketing pages

Sentry will automatically monitor these domains for content changes and security header configuration.

3. Connect GitHub Repositories

Link your GitHub organization or repositories to monitor for:

  • Suspicious commits and author mismatches

  • Dependabot security alerts

  • Secret scanning results

  • Commit overwrites

4. Set Up Breach Monitoring

Sentry automatically monitors email addresses associated with your verified domains for credential breaches. Configure additional monitoring in the Breach Detection tab.

5. Deploy Endpoint Protection (Optional)

For comprehensive security, deploy the Sentry agent to your team's devices to monitor for:

  • Web3-specific security policies, for example:

    • Wallet keystore access patterns and automated draining attempts

    • Unauthorized .env file access containing API keys and private keys

    • MetaMask extension tampering and wallet replacement attacks

    • NPM supply chain attacks accessing SSH credentials

    • Communication with known crypto phishing domains

  • Installed software inventory to quickly lookup installed packages and vulnerable software versions
