Rai Home Overview
Applies To: WatchGuard Cloud
When you log in to WatchGuard Cloud as a Service Provider, and you have ThreatSync enabled, the Rai home page opens by default. To view the Rai home page, Service Providers must enable ThreatSync on their own Subscriber account, and on any other devices or Subscriber accounts they want to view data for. For more information, go to Enable ThreatSync.
Note: Some Rai features use generative AI. AI-generated output may be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date. Review and verify all output before relying on it or taking action based on it, including changes to configurations or security policies.
Select Rai in the top navigation bar of WatchGuard Cloud to return to the Rai Home page.
The Rai home page is divided into these primary sections:
Note: Your operator role determines what you can view and do in WatchGuard Cloud. Your role must have the ThreatSync Core permission to view or configure this feature. For more information, go to Manage WatchGuard Cloud Operators and Roles.
Daily Brief
When you open the Rai Home page, the default Daily Brief appears and shows a short summary of what occurred in the last 24 hours. To select a different time range for the Daily Brief, use the drop-down list.
The Daily Brief includes information about:
- Signals received
- Incidents identified
- Actions performed
- Closed items
- Pending items
To copy the summary, click

Expanded Daily Brief
To view an AI-generated, expanded Daily Brief, click Expand. The expanded Daily Brief highlights notable patterns, most-seen threat types, higher-risk customers, and automated actions performed on your behalf. Rai generates the expanded Daily Brief immediately when you open the Rai Home page and includes a time stamp. To return to the default Daily Brief, click Collapse.
Visualization
The Rai home page includes a visualization of the signals that combine to form incidents. Signals are the raw events that, when correlated, form an incident. An incident is an activity that is verified to be malicious. An incident can be as simple as an indicator of compromise, or as complex as an Indicator of Attack (IOA) that sequences behaviors to determine malicious intent.
Rai receives signals from your WatchGuard products and devices. With an active license, these WatchGuard products and devices can send data to Rai:
- Firebox (locally-managed with cloud reporting or cloud-managed)
- Access Point (cloud-managed)
- FireCloud
- WatchGuard Endpoint Security
- AuthPoint
- NDR/SaaS DR
- ThreatSync integrations
Rai correlates the ingested signals and forms them into incidents. Rai then separates these incidents into these categories:
- Recently Closed — Incidents that are closed by an automation policy or manually closed by you or a member of your team.
- Pending Review — Incidents that are New or Read and require your attention.
Note: The more WatchGuard products you have, the more visibility and expanded features you gain access to. When there is no product license in the account, the signal input line shows as gray.
KPI Widgets
Key performance indicator (KPI) widgets appear below the visualization on the Rai Home page.
The KPI widgets on the Rai home page include:
- Mean Time to Contain (MTTC) — The average time it takes Rai and the team to contain a security threat after it is detected. This critical incident response metric focuses on speed. The lower the MTTC, the faster security threats are detected and contained, which can reduce the risk of damage.
- Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) — The average time it takes Rai and the team to discover a security threat, breach, or malicious activity. This metric measures efficiency. The lower the MTTD, the faster security threats are detected.
- Signals-to-Incident Ratio — The number of signals that are correlated into incidents. A higher correlation or grouping of signals can transform high volumes of individual signals into a small number of actionable incidents. A higher correlation enables you to focus on high-priority tasks.
- Automated Containment — The incidents automatically contained by automation policies. A high automated containment value indicates that a high number of incidents are contained automatically without human intervention. Automation policies are consistent and traceable, and always apply to the current environment. For information about the automation policies used by Rai, go to About ThreatSync Automation Policies.
Action Tabs
Rai includes these Action Tabs below the visualization section:
- Pending Review
- Recently Closed
- Actions Timeline
Pending Review
The Pending Review tab shows the list of open incidents that require review. Each incident is time-stamped, includes a threat score, and shows the account where the incident was detected.
Select an incident in the list to view a description of the incident and its signal sources (the WatchGuard products that sent the signals to Rai). To open the Incident Details page and perform available actions for that incident, click Resolve.
Recently Closed
The Recently Closed tab shows the list of incidents that were closed in the last 24 hours. Each incident is time-stamped, includes a threat score, and shows the account where the incident was detected.
Select an incident in the list to view a description of the incident and its signal sources (the WatchGuard products that sent the signals to Rai).
To open the Incident Details page for the specific incident, click View.
Actions Timeline
The Actions Timeline tab shows all actions taken in the last 24 hours. This list includes actions taken by Rai, by you, and by other members of your team. The actions are listed by the time of day and include a brief description of the action and outcome.
To open the Incident Details page and perform actions for an incident that requires resolution, click Resolve.
Expanded Action Tabs
You can expand the Action Tabs section on the Rai Home page to view details for Pending Review and Recently Closed incidents, and to view a larger Actions Timeline.

Expanded Pending Review
The expanded Pending Review tab shows the full incident details for open incidents in the selected time range. You can review automatic responses, recommended actions, entities of interest, and signals related to the incident. You can also perform recommended actions, make comments, and review the audit log.
Expanded Recently Closed
The expanded Recently Closed tab shows the full incident details for each incident that was closed in the selected time range. You can review actions taken, entities of interest, signals, comments, and the audit log for the incident.
Expanded Actions Timeline
The Actions Timeline tab shows the list of actions taken in the selected time range. This list includes actions taken by Rai, by you, and by other members of your team. The actions are listed by the time of day and include a brief description of the action and outcome.
