CylanceMDR analysts are immediately notified with the alert details and can start their investigation and assess the threat. To follow up on the investigation (for example, to share additional details), you can log in to the CylanceMDR (CylanceGUARD) portal and find the alert in the Escalations screen.For more information, see View and manage aggregated alerts in the Administration content. | May 2024 |
