The Details Screen

Overview

The Details screen is the main screen where you can view and manage information and metadata for the following ThreatConnect^® object types: Indicators, Groups, Tags, Tracks, and Victims. Although data displayed on the Details screen depends on the type of object you are viewing, some of the most commonly displayed information includes Attributes added to the object, Security Labels and Tags applied to the object, a list of objects associated to the object you are viewing, and insights from CAL™. This screen also provides shortcuts to various ThreatConnect features, such as reporting and the Threat Graph visualization tool.

Before You Start

Viewing the Details Screen

1. On the top navigation bar, hover the cursor over Browse and select an object category (i.e., Indicators, Groups, Tags, Tracks, Victims, or Victim Assets) or type (e.g., Host, Adversary) to display a results table containing objects of the selected category or type on the Browse screen.
2. Hover over an object’s entry in the table on the Browse screen and click one of the following icons displayed in its Summary cell to display the Overview tab of the Details screen for the object:
   • View full details: Click this icon to open the object’s Details screen in the current browser tab.
   • View full details in new tab: Click this icon to open the object’s Details screen in a new browser tab.

Alternatively, click on an object’s entry in the table on the Browse screen to display its Details drawer, and then click the View full detailsicon at the upper-right corner of the drawer to display the Overview tab of the Details screen for the object.

Note

For a Victim Asset, no icons are displayed when hovering over its entry in the table on the Browse screen. Instead, you must click on its entry in the table to display its Details drawer and then click the View full detailsicon at the upper-right corner of the drawer. This will display the Details screen for the Victim to which the Victim Asset belongs.

New Details Screen View

As of ThreatConnect 7.0, the new Details screen view is available for all Indicator types and the following Group types: Adversary, Attack Pattern, Campaign, Course of Action, Event, Incident, Intrusion Set, Malware, Tactic, Task, Threat, Tool, Vulnerability Groups. It is not available for Document, Email, Report, and Signature Groups; Tags; Tracks; and Victims.

Overview Tab

The Overview tab of the new Details screen (Figure 1 and Figure 2) features several cards containing relevant information for the object you are viewing. Depending on the type of object you are viewing, the cards displayed on this tab will vary.

To collapse or expand all cards on the Overview tab, click the Collapse All or Expand All button, respectively, above the Details card. By default, all cards are expanded.

Indicators

Table 1 provides a description of each card that may be displayed on the Overview tab of the new Details screen for an Indicator and the Indicator types for which the card is available.

Groups

Table 2 provides a description of each card that may be displayed on the Overview tab of the new Details screen for a Group and the Group types for which the card is available.

Associations Tab

The Associations tab (Figure 3) displays tables of all associated Groups, Indicators, Victim Assets, Artifacts, and Cases, as well as potential associations—Cases and, for primary Group objects, Artifacts—that you can review and consider adding as associations to the object. The total number of associated objects will be displayed next to the tab name.

Activity Tab

The Activity tab (Figure 4) displays an activity list for the object, including a summary of the activity performed and the date and time the activity occurred. If an activity was performed on an object before your ThreatConnect instance was upgrade to version 7.0.0 or newer, the text “Legacy Link: “ will be appended to its summary.

Enrichment Tab

For Indicators, the Enrichment tab (Figure 5) will be available if an enrichment service is available for its Indicator type. This tab displays a card for each available enrichment service (VirusTotal™ in this example) that provides a summary of information retrieved from the enrichment service, if it is enabled. Each card also includes an Open Detailed View link to display a detailed view of the information retrieved from the enrichment service and a Retrieve Data button to retrieve new, instead of cached, data.

Legacy Details Screen View

The legacy Details screen view is available for all Indicator types, Group types, Tags, Tracks, and Victims. As of ThreatConnect version 7.0, it is the only Details screen view available for Document, Email, Report, and Signature Groups; Tags; Tracks; and Victims. For all other object types, the new Details screen view is the default view.
