Can I breakdown the Security Events summary in the Weekly Report?

Your weekly report presents an overview of interesting Field Effect metrics.  The Weekly report is broken down into several sections and is covered in more detain in our guide Meet Your Weekly Report

In this guide we look into the Security Events summary and what it represents.

The Security Event summary number listed at the top of the Weekly Report represents all the internal alert events available to Field Effect.  These were then analyzed, assessed, combined and enriched with other data available to Field Effect and then reviewed by our team of analysts, as well as our suite of analytics and used alongside additional data sources (endpoint agent, network traffic etc.) to generate an ARO only when necessary.

Any increase in the volume of Security Events can also be tied to new analytics being developed for new vulnerabilities. These can sometimes create a lot of additional Security Events internally.  Over time these will be fine-tuned to reduce the number of false positive Security Events.
