Computers

ESET PROTECT manages the environment structure of your computers and devices. The Computers table provides a detailed view of essential information about each machine, its status, the time of last communication, and the last event.

The view emphasizes severity and unresolved detections, enabling the security team to perform investigations focusing on computers with the highest detection rates, severities and frequencies. These computers may indicate an acute need for further investigation or false positives that you must resolve.

Preview panel

Click a computer name to display the preview panel on the right side. This panel contains important information about the selected computer. Some items are interactive.

Filtering, Tags and Table options

Use filters at the top of the screen to refine the displayed items. Tags are powerful when searching for a specific computer, detection, incident, executable or script. Click the gear gear_icon icon for table options to manage the main table.

 

The Computer details window includes:

icon_more_b Details

Click a computer to display comprehensive details.

icon_incidents_b Terminal

Allows advanced security professionals to remotely invoke PowerShell on an endpoint without breaking the end‐user's workflow (or alerting an attacker). PowerShell provides many options for detailed endpoint investigations and remediation without relying solely on ESET Inspect.

icon_detections_b Alerts

icon_detections_b Detections

Provides the main Detections for a selected computer. Select a detection to display Detection details and view the changes, including displaying the name of the triggering Rule with a link, Rule category name, Event link, Occurred time and date, triggering process link, Command line and information about the associated user.

icon_executables_b Executables

Shows the same options as the main Executables tab, except the list contains executables triggered on a specific computer.

icon_scripts_b Scripts

Displays the same options as the main Scripts tab, except the list contains scripts triggered on a specific computer.

icon_events_load_b Events

Shows the list of all events that occurred on this computer. To view events in the Raw events, right-click the event name and click Show in Process's Raw Events. To display event details, select an event to open Process details. A low-level event is something a process does, including writing a file, performing a DNS lookup and creating a registry entry. ESET Inspect analyses low-level events to find suspicious activities and report detections.
