Entity Types

When you add an entity to an incident, it falls under three types. Each type contains a unique set of data, which you can input to action nodes in Incident Responder playbooks.Manually Add an Entity

File – Any electronic file; for example, Word and Excel documents, Windows or Linux executables. A file entity contains specific data, including file path, size, and hash.

Device – A computer, either on an internal network or the internet. A device entity contains specific data, including IP address, zone, and top user.

User – A person identified by a corporate directory account ID, email address, or other means (app login ID, full name, etc.). A user entity contains specific data, including data about employment, contact information, and manager.

File Entity Data

Every entity type contains a unique set of data fields. The file entity contains data like file path, size, and hash. 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.
