# Takumi Runner Now Supports Threat Detection

Takumi Runner now provides **threat detection**, which proactively detects threats in CI/CD pipelines. When a supply-chain incident occurs — like the ones Takumi Guard has reported on in the past — we promptly investigate the trace data collected through Takumi Runner or [cicd-sensor](/docs/r/202608-takumi-runner-cicd-sensor-integration), and immediately notify you when a threat is detected.

## Benefits

Until now, you had to review and investigate the trace logs collected by Takumi Runner yourself. Investigating them effectively requires a certain amount of expertise, and the response needs to be fast.

With this feature, when a supply-chain incident occurs, an impact investigation that leverages our know-how and systems is carried out promptly, and you are notified if you are affected.

## Getting Started

To receive notifications, you need to enable **threat notifications** in the settings.

In the Shisho Cloud console, open **Runner** > **Settings** and configure the destination under **Threat Notifications**.

Turn on the **Email notifications** toggle and choose the destination address from **Target address**. Press "Save" and the setup is complete: notifications will be sent when a threat is detected in a future incident.

You can also send a test from this screen to confirm in advance that notifications arrive correctly.

:::info
As of this writing, notifications are supported via email only. Webhook support is planned.
