Sentinel Top 10 Reports
Advisor
Sentinel Advisor, an optional module, cross-references Sentinel’s real-time alert data with known
vulnerabilities and remediation information, bridging the gap between incident detection and
response. With Advisor, organizations can determine if events exploit specific vulnerabilities and
how these attacks impact their assets. Advisor also contains detailed information on the
vulnerabilities that attacks intend to exploit, the potential effects of the attacks if successful and
necessary steps for remediation. Recommended remediation steps are enforced and tracked using
iTRAC incident response processes.
Health
The Health service enables users to get a comprehensive view of the distributed Sentinel platform. It
aggregates health information from various processes that are typically distributed on various
servers. The health information is periodically displayed on the Sentinel Control Center for the end
user.
