Findings allow you to view and investigate notable events in your organization's Active Directory, including:

  • Tier Zero object activity, including the identification of unprotected Tier Zero objects

  • Hygiene indicators detected by Security Guardian Assessments

  • Detected TTP and Detected Anomaly Indicators collected by Security Guardian from On Demand Audit.

NOTE: Hygiene indicates that objects are susceptible to an adversary attack. Detected indicates that an action took place that could possibly be an adversary attack. Detected TTP (tactics, techniques and procedures) are search-based detected indicators whereas Detected Anomalies are indicators based on statistical analysis.

To view Findings:

From the left navigation menu, choose Security | Findings.

The Findings list displays Active Directory objects, along with the following information for each:

  • Finding

  • one of the following Severity levels:

    NOTE: Security Guardian calculates severity levels by a range of values (i.e., the lower the value, the higher severity). If you sort by this column, you can see the Findings in order of most to least severe.

    Critical Generally reserved for Hygiene and Detected Indicators that are changes to Tier Zero object security, have significant potential impact to the Active Directory environment, and are not part of the default Active Directory configuration.
    High Generally reserved for Hygiene and Detected Indicators that are of high concern but impact single objects, the discovery of new Tier Zero domain objects, and changes to Tier Zero objects that occur more often through normal business operations or are part of the default Active Directory configuration.
    Medium Generally reserved for the addition of Tier Zero user, computer, group, and Group Policy objects.
