Overview
Your profile avatar (profile picture) represents you across the Securonix Connect community. Keeping your avatar up to date helps other members recognize you, creates a more personalized experience, and makes community interactions more engaging.
This article explains how to update, replace, or remove your profile avatar.
Why This Matters
A personalized profile makes it easier for community members to identify one another in discussions, comments, and other interactions. Whether you’re uploading a new image or removing an outdated one, managing your avatar helps ensure your profile reflects how you want to be represented.
Note: Using a real photo is completely optional. We encourage you to choose any image that best represents you, including illustrations, abstract artwork, avatar-generated images, or your company logo. Your privacy and personal preference are always respected.
