Filter data in Asset view

Asset view enables you to investigate assets within your enterprise and whether or not they have interacted with suspicious domains. You can adjust Asset view to hide benign activity and help highlight the data relevant to an investigation.

Complete the following steps to navigate to Asset view page:

  1. Enter the asset (ending with a known public suffix) or URL you need to investigate in the search bar at the top of the user interface. Click SEARCH.

    Search for an asset Search for an asset from the landing page

  2. Select the asset from the ASSETS drop-down menu.

Prevalence

Prevalence measures the number of assets within your enterprise connected to a specific domain over the past seven days. More assets connecting to a domain means that the domain has greater prevalence within your enterprise. High prevalence domains, such as google.com, are unlikely to require investigation. You can use the Prevalence slider to filter out the high prevalence domains and focus on the domains which fewer assets across your enterprise have accessed. The minimum Prevalence value is 1, meaning you could focus on the domains which are linked to a single asset within your enterprise. The maximum value varies depending on the number of assets you have within your enterprise.

Chronicle provides a graphical representation of the historical prevalence of a given FQDN and its TLD. This graph can be used to determine whether the domain has been accessed from within the enterprise before, and can provide an indication of whether the domain is associated with a particular campaign targeting the enterprise. Typically, less prevalent domains, ones that fewer assets have connected to, might represent a greater threat to your enterprise.

Time slider

The time slider allows you to adjust the time period under examination. You can adjust the slider to view between one minute and one day of events (you can also adjust this using the scroll wheel of your mouse over the Prevalence Graph). Domains that more assets have accessed are displayed as more prevalent in Asset view.

Timeline tab

Selecting an event in the Timeline tab also highlights the corresponding event in the Gradient Heat Map in green. Alerts are indicated by a red triangle and red text.

Asset tab

Selecting an asset highlights it in green in the Asset tab and all activity involving that asset is also highlighted in green on the Gradient Heat Map. You can pivot to Asset view by clicking on first accessed or last accessed in the Assets tab.

TIMELINE Sidebar List

When you search for an asset, activity is returned with a default time window of 2 hours. Hovering over the header categories row displays the sorting control for each column, enabling you to sort alphabetically or by time depending on the category. Adjust the time window using the time slider or by scrolling the mouse wheel while the cursor is over the Prevalence Graph.

DOMAINS sidebar list

Use this list to see the first lookup of each distinct domain within a given time window. This helps to hide noise caused by assets frequently connecting to domains.
