    :::note
    The information displayed for partitions that contain Cloud SIEM records varies from other partitions. You can tell if a partition contains Cloud SIEM records from its name because the names of the Sumo Logic partitions that contain Cloud SIEM records begin with the string `sec_record_`. Note also that you can’t edit a security partition, or configure data forwarding for it. Cloud SIEM users can search security partitions, as described in [Searching for Cloud SIEM Records in Sumo Logic](/docs/cse/records-signals-entities-insights/search-cse-records-in-sumo).
