Artifact Types

When you add an artifact to an incident, it falls under five types. Each type contains its own unique set of data, which you can input to action nodes in Incident Responder playbooks.Manually Add an Artifact

Email Address – An email address observed on an email client or server. An email address artifact contains specific data, including role and threat status.

File - A file observed on a device. It may or may not have a payload. You may retrieve the file, but not download, display, or execute it because it may be malicious. A file artifact contains specific data, including file path, size, and hash

IP - An IP address in IPv4 or IPv6 format. An IP artifact contains specific data, including geolocation, role, and threat status.

Process - A process executed by a program observed on an operating system. A process artifact contains specific data, including run time, ID, and parent process.

URL – A URL associated with an IP address. A URL artifact contains specific data, including geolocation, IP, and role.

Email Address Artifact Data

Every artifact type contains a unique set of data. The email address artifact contains data like the email address's role and threat status. In Incident Responder, you can input this data to a playbook action node.

If you turned on data masking in Advanced Analytics settings and you click on a link that redirects you from Case Manager to Advanced Analytics, you must have View Unmasked Data (PII) privileges to view the data in Advanced Analytics.
