3.2. Asset View

>Assets

In most cases working with the Baselining section and the Cases section can be seen as the best practice approach for setting baselines and dealing with alerts and warnings.

However, in some cases it makes sense to change perspective and rather go for a host-centric approach. The Analysis Cockpit will calculate numbers of lines in different case types (Incident, Suspicious, Legitimate Anomaly, etc.) on a per-asset basis for a given time frame. Information from the Management Center, such as last scan dates, labels, host availability, and many more can allow for an entirely different perspective.

By using the "Asset View" you can easily answer questions like:

  • Which assets appear most often in Incident cases?

  • Which assets haven't reported a single event for more than a month?

  • Which Domain Controllers have not been scanned yet?

  • Which assets in the subnet "192.168.0.0/16" appear in Incident cases?

You can also set a time when an asset was compromised. This is useful when you want to see which assets were compromised in the last 30 days.

In combination with the Advanced Query Language (AQL) and Labels, which are pinned to your assets, you can even narrow down the events by system group (e.g., Domain Controllers, or certain locations).
