Abstract

The Query Builder facilitates threat detection, case expansion, and data analytics for suspected threats.

The Query Builder aids in the detection of threats by allowing you to search for indicators of compromise and suspicious patterns within data sources. It assists in expanding case investigations by identifying related events and entities, such as activities associated with specific user accounts or network lateral movement. In addition, the Query Builder enables data analytics on suspected threats, helping organizations analyze large volumes of data to identify trends, anomalies, and correlations that may indicate potential security issues. The Query Builder also provides an interactive and visually intuitive way for you to search assets and findings by their relationship types and map them out in real-time.

Cortex Cloud provides different options in the Query Builder for creating queries:
