Session tab

The Session tab lists all the sessions related to the same anomaly type (such as Network Attacks and Encrypted Attack). Each row is an anomaly event. Sessions with multiple anomaly events under the same anomaly type will have multiples rows with the same session ID.

By default, the Session tab displays the following information:

Src IP The source IP.

The source network.

You can use this column to filter IP addresses based on the category of the IP, such as Internal, External (public addresses), Broadcast, Multicast address, Loopback, Reserved Address and Link-local Address. You can filter for both IPv4 and IPv6 Addresses.

Dst IP The destination IP.
Destination Network Filter IP addresses based on the category of the IP, such as Internal, External (public addresses), Broadcast, Multicast address, Loopback, Reserved Address and Link-local Address. You can filter for both IPv4 and IPv6 Addresses.
