Monitor Users

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

To monitor users:

  1. In the main menu, click the Users tab, and then click Highlighted Users.
    The Highlighted Users screen appears.
    Highlighted users are organized into three columns:

    Column Name

    Column Description

    Notable

    Users that have the highest score.

    Watched

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

    Critical

    Users who need to be monitored more closely because they are critical to the organization (for example, VPs or high-level executives).


  2. To view the details of a specific user, click the User.
    The User Details screen appears.
    The following table lists the sections displayed on the User Details screen with the location and a brief description.
