Event dimensions

These tables define the event dimensions for events in Enterprise Threat Protector (ETP).

For threat events in the Threat Events report, you can choose to show data based on this criteria.

Criteria for Threat Events
Dimension Definition
Category

The overall category of the event.

For a threat event, categories can be Malware, Phishing, Command and Control (C&C), DNS Exfiltration, Deny List, or Other (if assigned to a custom list).
Reason Informs how a threat event was identified. Any of the following reasons may appear:
  • Akamai Intelligence. Indicates threat event was identified by Akamai or a threat category.
  • Customer Intelligence. Indicates threat event was found based on an administrator's custom list configuration.
  • Document Static Analysis. Indicates threat event was found based on inline payload analysis of a document.
  • Executable Static Analysis. Indicates threat event was found based on inline payload analysis of a document.
  • AV scan. Indicates threat event was found by an antivirus scan.
Severity Indicates the severity level. For more information, see Severity levels.

This criteria or dimension appears for threat events only.
Location A location is a public IP address or a named collection of public IP addresses that belong to a region or geographic area in your network, such as a CIDR block for an office branch or company headquarters.

The location indicates where the event originated from.
Policy Security policy or set of rules that are associated with a location.
Domain Name or resolvable identifier for an IP address. This is the domain that is requested by the user. In a threat event, the domain is known or suspected to be malicious.
Resolved IP IP address that is resolved from a domain name.
Detected Time The time when the event was detected in your local time.
List List that identified the threat as an event. This list can be a custom list or a threat category.
Action Action taken on known or suspected threats based on a policy configuration.
Confidence Indicates whether an event is a known or suspected threat.
Source IP IP address of traffic. This is likely the IP address that is assigned to a location as a result of Network Address Translation (NAT).
Client Request ID Universally unique identifier (UUID) of ETP Client that’s installed on the machine.
Autonomous System A unique identifier for a network.
Detection Method Indicates how the event was detected. This field may show any of these values:
  • Inline. Indicates the event was detected at the time of access.
  • Lookback. Indicates the event was discovered in log data based on behavior.
  • Offline Static. Indicates the event was discovered offline or after content was downloaded as a result of static malware analysis.
  • Offline Dynamic. Indicates the event was discovered in a sandbox environment as a result of dynamic malware analysis.
Machine Name Identifies the client host or machine.
Onramp Type Indicates how a request was directed to ETP Proxy.
One of these values may appear:
  • dns. Indicates DNS event was forwarded to ETP Proxy.
  • web. Indicates web (HTTP and HTTPS) request was forwarded to the full web proxy.
  • onramp_dns. Indicates that risky HTTP and HTTPS traffic was forwarded to the selective proxy.
  • etp_client. Indicates the request was directed to ETP Proxy as a result of ETP Client.
  • etp_offnet_client. Indicates the request was directed to ETP Proxy as a result ETP Client. In this case, ETP Client was off the corporate network.
  • explicit_proxy_tls. Indicates the request was directed to ETP Proxy as a result of an on-premises proxy configuration.
Internal Client IP Internal IP address of the user’s machine.
User Name If authentication is enabled in a policy, this dimension shows the username of the user who made the request.
Threat Name Name of the threat. If a specific name for a threat does not appear, ETP shows a name that classifies the threat. These classifications include:
  • Customer Lists. Domains or IP addresses in a custom list. The domains or IP addresses in these lists are defined by your organization.
  • Known Phishing. Domains or URLs that are used in a social engineering attack to fraudulently obtain personal or classified information. A phishing scam deceives victims to performing an activity that compromises their machine or reveals sensitive information.
  • Known Malware. Domains or URLs that direct victims to malicious websites or are used by applications to harm a network. Malware steals confidential data, compromises data integrity, and disrupts data availability.
  • Known CNC. Domains or URLs that are used for command and control communication. A command and control threat is used to steal data, distribute malware, and disrupt services.
  • File Sharing. Domains or URLs of file sharing services.
  • Aged Out. Indicates the domain was tracked as a threat for some time and it may still be a threat. If the proxy is enabled, the proxy determines whether the domain is still a threat.
  • Generic Risky. Indicates there’s risk that the domain may be malicious. If the proxy is enabled, the proxy determines whether it is malicious.
  • Unclassified. Indicates a threat is not yet classified by ETP.

This criteria or dimension appears for threat events only.
HTTP Request Method The action that’s performed during the request.

This attribute is available only when ETP Proxy is enabled.
URI Uniform Resource Identifier. Characters or string that identify a resource. For example, a URL is a URI.

This attribute is available only when ETP Proxy is enabled.
Web Destination Port

Destination port of web traffic.

This attribute is available only when ETP Proxy is enabled.
Layer 7 Protocol Application layer protocols such as HTTP and HTTPS.

This attribute is available only when ETP Proxy is enabled.

For events in the access control events report, you can choose to show data based on these dimensions.

Criteria for Access Control Events
Dimension Definition
Category Categories of AUP violations. Violations are reported at the subcategory level. If a category does not have a subcategory, than the category name is provided.
Domain Name or resolvable identifier for an IP address. In an AUP event, the domain is blocked based on the setting assigned to the domain's AUP category in the policy configuration. The user receives an error or warning message when attempting to request this domain.
Policy Security policy or set of rules that are associated with a location.
Location Indicates where a threat originated from.
Layer 7 Protocol Indicates whether the HTTP or HTTPS application layer protocols were used.

This attribute is available only when ETP Proxy is enabled.
Internal Client Name Internal client name of machine that’s detected by DNS Forwarder.
Application Web application that violated the ETP policy for access control. For more information, see Application visibility and control categories.
Operation Application operation that violates ETP policy for access control. For more information, see Application visibility and control categories.
Risk Risk level associated with a web application that violated ETP policy for access control. For more information, see Application visibility and control categories.
Reason Indicates how the event was detected. If the event was detected by AVC, the following reasons may appear depending on the configuration of the policy:
  • Application Risk Level
  • Category
  • Application Category Operation

User Name If authentication is enabled in a policy and configured for an acceptable use policy, this is the username of the user who made the request.
User ID If authentication is required, this dimension shows the User ID associated with the user who made the request and violated the AUP.
Internal Client IP Internal IP address of the user’s machine.
Onramp Type Indicates how a request was directed to ETP Proxy.

For Security Connector events in the Security Connector report, you can choose to show data based on these dimensions:

Criteria for Security Connector Events
Dimension Definition
Affected Internal IP The private or internal IP address of a machine in your network that communicates with Security Connector and is known to be compromised.
Affected Machine Name of the compromised machine in your network. The machine name appears if your organization has configured DNS Pointer (PTR) records on the DNS name server that communicates with the security connector. Enterprise Threat Protector performs a reverse IP address lookup to show this information.
