Programs Allowed by the Administrator
The Programs Allowed by the Administrator tile shows the number of items the administrator allows which EDR Core initially prevented from running. EDR Core classified these programs as a threat (malware, PUP, or exploit) or as unknown files in the process of classification.
To show specific information in a list, click the tile.
To see all events related to threats and unknown files in the process of classification that the administrator allowed to run, click History.
Malware Activity, Pup Activity, and Exploit Activity
The Malware Activity, PUP Activity, and Exploit Activity tiles show incidents detected in processes run by the workstations and servers on the network, as well as their file systems. Endpoint Security incidents are reported by real-time scans as well as on-demand scan tasks.
EDR Core shows an incident in the Malware Activity and PUP Activity tiles for each computer or threat pair found on the network. If an incident occurs multiple times in five minutes, EDR Core registers only the first incident. The same incident can register a maximum of two times every 24 hours.
- Run shows the number of malware files that successfully ran on the network.
- Accessed Data shows the number of times in which the threat accessed user information on the computer hard disk.
- External Connections shows the number of times there were connections to other computers.
-
The threats copied from computers on the network show the IP address of the computer from which an infection originated, as well as the number of times that IP address was the source of a detection (in parentheses). To open the corresponding list, click the IP address.
- To open the Malware Activity or PUP Activity list to show a list of the affected computers and malware or PUP incidents, click the tile.
Exploit Activity
The Exploit Activity tile shows the number of vulnerability exploit attacks against Windows computers on the network, including vulnerable driver detections. EDR Core reports an incident in the Exploit Activity tile for each computer or different exploit attack pair found on the network. If an attack repeats several times, EDR Core reports a maximum of 10 incidents every 24 hours for each computer/exploit pair found.
