Entity Details

The Entities tab is available from the Details panel whenever you are viewing Search results that include events or detections with parsed entity fields. When the Entities tab is displayed, it lists all of the entities that are present in the search results. For each entity, you can opt to open an Entity Details panel that displays the extensive information stored about the entity in the Attack Surface Insights application.

Without leaving the Search application, the Entity Details panel provides detailed information about the entity and about the threat history, cases, and alerts associated with the entity. For more information about what the Entity Details panel shows and how to use it, see View Entity Details in the Attack Surface Insights Guide.
