What ES feature would a security analyst utilize while investigating a network anomaly?

The protocol intelligence dashboard is a valuable feature for security analysts investigating network anomalies. This dashboard provides insights into network traffic patterns by analyzing the protocols being used, their behaviors, and any deviations from expected norms. By examining the data presented in the protocol intelligence dashboard, analysts can identify unusual activity that may indicate security issues, such as potential intrusions or unauthorized use of network resources.

This feature allows analysts to visualize and track specific protocols, making it easier to spot irregularities, such as unexpected protocol usage or unusual volumes of traffic associated with certain protocols. By focusing on these anomalies, security analysts can more effectively diagnose potential threats and take appropriate actions.

Other features, while useful in their own right, do not provide the same level of direct insight into network anomalies. For instance, threat intelligence feeds offer context about known threats but do not give specific insights into the current network behavior. Data model acceleration aids in performance but does not directly help in the investigation of anomalies, and the alert management page is focused on managing security alerts rather than analyzing ongoing network behaviors. Therefore, utilizing the protocol intelligence dashboard is particularly advantageous for a targeted investigation into network anomalies.
