Introduction to Context Management

The Context Management service provides a single point of entry for managing context data, including data from:

  • Threat intelligence services

  • Identity providers

  • Custom context

Context Management supports the processing of context data from multiple collection sources across your security environment. The data is stored in context tables and is then available for use by downstream applications.

Note

Currently, data processed by the Context Management service is available for use in New-Scale products, including Search, Correlation Rules, and Dashboards.

Beyond managing context data, the Context Management service represents a single source of truth for information about context data. It provides a centralized experience that helps administrators bridge the gap between simply collecting context data and using that data to glean useful security insights. It ensures that the collected context data can be viewed, searched, and visualized by other Exabeam services.
