Overview

Cloud SIEM’s Risk Based Entity Insights for AWS consolidates multiple data sources, such as SIEM threats and CSM insights, into a profile representing a single security entity, such as an IAM user.

With Risk Based Entity Insights, you can:

  • Explore entities, filtering them by attributes such as risk score or entity type.
  • View all data relevant to an entity, such as signals, misconfigurations, and identity risks.
  • Triage relevant items in bulk.
  • Take mitigation steps such as creating a global suppression or creating a case for an entity.

Prerequisites

No other setup is required to use Cloud SIEM Entities.

Risk scoring

An entity’s risk score summarizes the entity’s risk level over time.

The risk score is calculated from the characteristics of the entity’s associated signals, such as the severity level of the signal and how many times the signal has fired. All signals fired in the past 14 days are used to calculate the risk score.
