This article outlines actions that can be taken against alerts in the Alert Dashboard. Select the action for a step by step guide:

  • Assign Alert(s) to an Investigation
  • Dismiss alert(s)

 

Assign Alert(s) to an Investigation

You may need to triage and analyze alerts further, you can complete this through the Alerts widget and open an investigation. For an overview of investigations refer to Investigations Overview or for actions refer to Investigations.


Dismiss alert(s)

In review of alerts, you may determine that an alert can be dismissed - this could be for a multitude of reasons ranging from identifying a false positive, an alert based on a vulnerability which is not applicable to your environment through to an alert based on a download being blocked which does not require investigation. 

Samurai XDR helps you prioritize alert triage by displaying the identified Severity and Confidence. For more information refer to Alert Management Dashboard.
