  • The Security Analyst Workspace base system includes a set of primary filters for narrowing down the list of security incidents for analysis (for security incidents assigned to you, all open incidents, and so forth) and a set of quick (or secondary) filters for narrowing down the list even further (by new incidents, open incidents, only critical incidents, and so forth).

    Before you begin

    You can use the Classic environment to define additional primary and secondary filters.

    As you define filters to be used in the Security Analyst Workspace, you can assign tags to indicate whether they can be used as primary or secondary filters. Primary filters are shown at the top of the security incident list.
