# Getting started
1.	If you don't have an account yet, [register on the Standoff 365 Platform](https://auth.standoff365.com/en-US/account/registration/).
2.	Read the [step-by-step instructions](https://help.standoff365.com/en-US/7170815371/portal) on how to set up a connection to Standoff Defend.
3.	Go to Workspace → [Access and resources](https://range.standoff365.com/en-US/battle/16/?section=report&tab=accessAndResources), and download a VPN config file.
❗️Each polygon has its own unique VPN configuration. For correct operation, it is necessary to download a separate configuration file for each polygon through this access page. If you try to use the configuration file of another polygon, the system will deny access.



🔍 To investigate the attack and complete the report, please review the [guidelines](https://help.standoff365.com/ru-RU/8820264715/portal).
If you don't have any experience with Positive Technologies products, read the following materials:

An event recorded in SIEM at 10:00 UTC+0 will appear as:
- 05:00 UTC-5 (New York)
