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: Intelligence Requirements, 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, Threat Graph, and the ATT&CK^® Visualizer.

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., Intelligence Requirements (IR), 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

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