The alerts dashboard provides valuable insights into your organization’s security landscape, despite all alerts being handled by the Samurai Security Operation Center (SOC) it provides visibility into the volume of alerts which potentially lead to validated threats and reported to you as a security incident. Additionally we provide transparency by categorizing the alerts by detection engine and highlighting top threat signatures, whilst you do not need to act upon these alerts, this information demonstrates the Samurai MDR service’s scale and effectiveness.
Outlined below are examples and an explanation of each panel within the dashboard:
Select the time period to adjust all panels in the dashboard, note the results can provide upto the last 12 months of alert data. Hover over any area of a bar or chart for specific time period and totals.
