Seen on—The computers where the file was discovered. Click Seen on to be redirected to the Computers view, where you can find a filtered list.

Signature Type—The signature type, if signed: Trusted, Valid, None, Invalid or Unknown. The executable is signed if the value is Present, but ESET Inspect cannot identify the certificate's status. While uncommon for Windows, on MacOS, Endpoint does not verify signatures, and the only states are Present or None.

Seen on—The computers where the file was discovered. Click Seen on to be redirected to the Computers view, where you can find a filtered list.

File Description—The file's full description.

First Seen—When an executable was first seen on any computer in a monitored network.

Last Executed—When an executable was last executed on any computer in a monitored network.

Registry—Number of registry modifications the executable made.

Network—Number of network connections the executable made.

Computer

Shows the computer's name where the detection triggered. Click the computer name to find Computer details. Click View detections on this computer to open the specific computer’s detection list.

Parent Group—A computer group's name where a specific computer is assigned. You can change the computer's group in ESET PROTECT On-Prem.

Last connected—The permanent connection, which refreshes every 90 seconds, created for listening to blocked hash notifications, requests to download a file or kill a process.

Last event—The last event’s timestamp that was sent to the server. This event occurred on the computer, not when it was sent to the ESET Inspect Server.

ESET Inspect Connector version—The ESET Inspect Connector version, deployed on the computer.

OS Name—The operating system (OS) running on the computer.

Executable—The executable's name dropped by the first dropper and the one that started the process.

Integrity Level

Represented by the arrow in the process tree, the Detections tab grid, and wherever the process name is present. The integrity levels are:

Untrusted—Blue arrow downintegrity_blue. Blocks most write access to a majority of objects.

Low—Blue arrow downintegrity_blue. Blocks most write access to registry keys and file objects.

Medium—No icon. This is the default setting for most processes when UAC is enabled.

High—Red arrow upintegrity_red. Most processes will have this setting if UAC is disabled and the administrator is the user currently logged in.

System—Red arrow upintegrity_red. This setting is reserved for system-level components.

Protected process—Red arrow upintegrity_red. Some antimalware services use this to load trusted, signed code, and includes a built-in defense against code injection attacks.
