New Blog | Simplify triage with the new Alert Timeline
Every second counts when it comes to detecting and responding to potential security breaches, and in today’s ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape, tools that facilitate rapid triage and decision-making become essential for upholding strong security hygiene.
Today, we’re excited to introduce the latest feature to our rich reporting feature set —the alert timeline—a new view that minimizes the time needed for triage and investigation without compromising the quality of analysis.
Simplifying alerts for faster response
Alerts are an important factor to consider amongst the broader data-mix of events, alerts, and incidents.
Alerts are primarily informational qualified events where predefined system logic indicates an issue before human input validates the information into an incident. Alerts mostly occur close to real-time, so that validation and restoration can happen as quickly as possible to keep MTTD (mean time to detect) and MTTR (mean time to resolve) low.
The new alert timeline revamps the way users interact with alerts in the Defender portal and adds a more nuanced layer of visibility to the telemetry data across your organization. The alert timeline is designed to complement the existing ‘process tree’ view and offers users a comprehensive perspective on each alert. While the process tree provides a detailed breakdown of the alert’s associated processes and activities, the alert timeline presents a condensed chronological view that facilitates rapid triage and decision-making.
Getting Started
Navigate to Investigation & Response –> Alerts in the Defender portal to explore the new alert timeline tab.
