Monitor Hosts

In addition to responding to incidents, analysts can also monitor and research activities associated with specific hosts.

To monitor hosts:

  1. In the main menu, click the Hosts tab, and then click Highlighted Hosts.
    The Highlighted Hosts screen appears.

    Highlighted hosts are organized into three columns:

    Column Name

    Column Description

    Notable Hosts

    Hosts that have the highest score.

    Watched Hosts

    Hosts manually marked as watched because of a potential compromise or because they have exhibited suspicious behavior.

    Critical Hosts

    Hosts who need to be monitored more closely because they are critical to the organization.


  2. To view the details of a specific host, click the Host ID.
    The Host Details screen appears.
    The table below lists the sections displayed on the Host Details screen with the location and a brief description.
