FortiNDR Cloud Network Traffic Usage of a Sensor Report
This report provides daily insights into network traffic patterns for an individual sensor by identifying top source and destination IPs, high-volume IP pairs (Top Talkers), busiest destination ports, and ports with unidentified protocols.
FortiNDR Cloud Network Traffic Usage Report
The Network Traffic Usage report provides a comprehensive view of traffic distribution across multiple dimensions. It includes visualizations such as bar charts, pie charts, and detailed data tables to help analyze network activity. A Sankey chart is available for aggregations where Group By includes two IP fields or when there are two dimensions and a measure. The Sankey chart type appears only when there are 50 or fewer dimensions.
Traffic usage can be grouped by source and destination IP addresses, applications, protocols, and other relevant categories. Each chart displays comparative usage trends, while the accompanying data tables show exact values and percentages for each category. This report enables analysts to quickly identify high-traffic sources, dominant applications, and overall usage patterns for effective monitoring and optimization.
FortiNDR Cloud Detections Report
The FortiNDR Cloud Detections Report is useful for analysis and threat hunting. It provides key security performance metrics, focusing exclusively on resolved detections. This approach ensures that analysts can accurately measure the effectiveness of their detection and response processes.
This report provides an overview of the number detections within a specific time range and can be useful for threat hunting. The report includes only resolved detections when calculating metrics. Any active detections within the selected time range are excluded from these calculations.
When calculating results, FortiNDR Cloud applies the following filters:
- Created Date within the selected time range
- Muted and Disabled state set to All
- Detection Status set to Resolved
The report criteria includes detections observed, attack category and severity. For each detection there is an overview and the number of events that satisfy the detector. The Executive Summary displays:
| Total Detections | Number of detections within the specified time range. |
| Devices with detections | Number of devices with detections within the specified time range. |
| Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) |
Average time in seconds between when an incident was first seen and when it was created in the system. Mean Time to Detect is calculated by averaging the time difference (in seconds) between the FirstSeen and Created timestamps for all detections with a status of Resolved. |
| Mean Time to Resolve (MTTR) |
Average time in seconds between when an incident was created and when it was resolved. Mean Time to Resolve is calculated by averaging the time (in seconds) between the Created timestamp and the ResolutionTimestamp for all detections marked as Resolved. |
| Mean Dwell Time (Dwell) |
Average time in seconds between when an incident was first seen and when it was resolved. Dwell Time is calculated by averaging the time (in seconds) between the FirstSeen and ResolutionTimestamp for all detections with a status of Resolved. |
| Devices with Detections | Total of unique device IP from all detections |
