Alert heatmap

Overview
The Alert Heatmap allows you to see the concentration of fired alerts per technique and tactic for a specific period of time. You can also see the total number of fired alerts at the top right and additional information about techniques by hovering over the information icon in the matrix.
The matrix will use the technique, tactic or alert with the most alerts as the basis to calculate the density and color coding for the fired alerts.
The table at the bottom shows the specific alerts fired, as well as their details and number of times fired.
Filter the alert heatmap
Use the filters and date picker to show the results accordingly on the matrix and the table.
Tables can be filtered by column, as shown below. You can also use the column text searches to find alerts that contain a given string in a specific column, and enhancing the search by choosing any of the following restrictions: 'Contains', 'Does not contain', 'Equals', 'Does not equal', 'Begins with', 'Ends with', 'Is blank', and 'Is not blank'.
Export alert heatmap
This area can now be exported in JSON or PDF formats to help share information with other peers, reaching a broader audience without requiring access to the application. To do it, simply click on the Export button at the top right and select the desired format (PDF or JSON).
The exported file will contain the heatmap exactly as displayed on the matrix at the moment of performing the export. This means that the filters and time range explained above will be taken into account when exporting.
As with the alert heatmap, the alert list can also be exported in CSV format to help with the information-sharing process.
