Search View matrix

This page is currently a work in progress; expect frequent near-term updates.

This topic includes information on in the Splunk for Enterprise Security correlation searches associated with the dashboards, along with support and correlation searches that generate notable events, but are not directly used by dashboards.

Correlations search thresholds

The following table lists the correlation searches with adjustable thresholds:

Endpoint - Anomalous User Account Creation	Number of new processes in a 24 hr period	3
Access - Brute Force Access Behavior Detected	Number of failures	6
Access - Excessive Failed Logins	Number of authentication attempts	6
Endpoint - High Number of Infected Hosts	Number of infected hosts	100
Endpoint - Host with Excessive Number of Listening Ports	Number of listening ports	20
Endpoint - Host with Excessive Number of Processes	Number of running processes	200

Endpoint - Host with Multiple Infections	Total number of infections per host	> 1
Endpoint - Old Malware Infection	Number of days host had infection	30 days
Endpoint - Recurring Malware Infection	Number of days that the device was re-infected	3 days
Network - Substantial Increase in an Event	Number of events (self-baselines based on average)	3 St Dev.
