Devices

Devices investigation provides advanced tool to search, analyze, and obtain the device usage insights based on the correlation of users and endpoints.​

This view gives a holistic view for user’s activities based on device usage, IOBs, and Enterprise DLP incidents.

Thereby, gaining visibility on file transferred metadata for the files that were copied from and to the removable storage devices, without any performance impact to the endpoint.

Use the Devices tab on the Investigation view for a selected time frame (24 hours, 7 days, and 30 days) to view details on specific devices like the associated permissions, custom rules applied, unique users who connected using the device, unique endpoints the device was connected to, volume of read or write that happened to the device along with device identifiers like the serial number, vendor ID (VID), and product ID (PID).

Filtering capability allows for filtering based on each column in the Devices tab.
