About this page

The Overview dashboard is the landing page for the Behavior Analytics end-user. it provides a high-level summary of the entities in your organization. Summary metrics displayed on this dashboard include total counts of entities tracked, grouped by entity type and relative risk. The dashboard also includes a trend chart of the volume of recent alerts and behavior signals over time.

The Overview dashboard also provides dynamically generated lists of entities that may be of interest. Clicking on any one of the entity names in these lists will navigate the end-user to the details page for that selected entity. These lists are useful in scenarios where the Behavior Analytics end-user is conducting an open-ended review rather than investigating a particular known entity.

If the Behavior Analytics end-user already knows the name (or part of the name) of the entity they wish to investigate, they may simply enter the name (or part of the name) in the search box near the top-right corner of the page, and then click on the desired search result for details.  Alternatively, if the end-user wishes to conduct a more sophisticated search for entities, they may click on the Entity Analysis link in the  page header.

  • Behavior Alerts: Optional alerts that reflect when signals are generated. Also configurable in Content Manager > Behavior Models.

  • Risk Based Alerts: Optional alerts that are triggered by significant changes in entity risk scores. Configurable in Content Manager > Risk Based Alerts.

  • SecOps/Misc Alerts: Any other alerts generated outside of Behavior Analytics, such as SecOps alerts or other custom alerts.

Underneath the trend chart is a set of dynamically generated lists of entities. Each list applies a different set of filtering criteria to the entities. The purpose of these lists is to provide quick access to the interesting risky entities in your organization. Clicking on any entity name in these lists will navigate to the Entity Details page for the selected entity, where you can browse the activity that contributed to that entity’s risk score.

The following lists are displayed in the Overview dashboard:
