User Experience Enhancements

Expansion of Activity Descriptions

Activity Descriptions provide more context and help with understanding and security implications of suspicious Activities. With this update, we are expanding the coverage to a vast majority of Activities in our catalog.activity descriptions.png

 

New Confirmed Threats

In July, Cognitive Intelligence in cooperation with Cisco Talos focused on high-risk threats observable in our telemetry. Thanks to the improvement made to our Machine Learning Cybersecurity Platform (see Machine Learning Backend Improved) we have added 8 net-new Confirmed Threat types (see the list below) and increased coverage for a bigger variety of previously existing Confirmed Threats.

Miscellaneous Improvements

Auto-cleanup of incomplete incidents

We have identified a usability problem in the life cycle of Incidents. It could happen that due to the timeout of key suspicious activities that form an Incident, some Incidents could become obsolete yet still displayed in the user interface but missing the proof points in the form of suspicious activities. The incidents with expired anomalous activities are now automatically cleared.
