Reviewing Detective Investigations reports

Focus mode
Reviewing Detective Investigations reports - Amazon Detective

Investigations reports lets you review the generated Reports for investigations that you have run previously in Detective.

To review investigations reports

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console. Then open the Detective console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/detective/.

  2. In the navigation pane, choose Investigations.

Take note of the following attributes from an investigations report.

  • ID – The generated identifier of the investigations report. You can choose this ID to read a summary of the investigation report, which has the details of the investigation.

  • Status – Each investigation is associated with a Status based on the completion status of the investigation. Status values can be In progress, Succeeded, or Failed.

  • Severity – Each investigation is assigned a Severity. Detective automatically assigns a severity to the finding.

    A severity represents the disposition as analyzed by the investigation of a single resource at a given scope time. A severity reported by an investigation doesn't imply or otherwise indicate the criticality or importance that an affected resource might have for your organization.

    Investigation severity values can be Critical, High, Medium, Low, or Informational from most to least severe.

    Investigations that are assigned a Critical or High severity value should be prioritized for further inspection, as they are more likely to represent high-impact security issues identified by Detective.

  • Entity – The Entity column contains details on the specific entities detected in the investigation. Some entities are AWS accounts, such as user and role.

  • Status – The Creation date column contains details on the date and time the investigation report was first created.
