Detection Finding [2004] Class
Applicable Profiles: Cloud Date/Time OSINT Host Security Control Container Linux Users Data Classification

Findings Category

A Detection Finding describes detections or alerts generated by security products using correlation engines, detection engines or other methodologies. Note: if the product is a security control, the security_control profile should be applied and its attacks information should be duplicated into the finding_info object.
Name Caption Group Requirement Type Description
action Action primary Optional String The normalized caption of action_id.
This is the string sibling of enum attribute action_id.
action_id Action ID primary Required Integer The action taken by a control or other policy-based system leading to an outcome or disposition. Dispositions conform to an action of 1 'Allowed' or 2 'Denied' in most cases. Note that 99 'Other' is not an option. No action would equate to 1 'Allowed'. An unknown action may still correspond to a known disposition. Refer to disposition_id for the outcome of the action.

1Allowed
The activity was allowed. The disposition_id attribute should be set to a value that conforms to this action, for example 'Allowed', 'Approved', 'Delayed', 'No Action', 'Count' etc.
2Denied
The attempted activity was denied. The disposition_id attribute should be set to a value that conforms to this action, for example 'Blocked', 'Rejected', 'Quarantined', 'Isolated', 'Dropped', 'Access Revoked, etc.
