Within an entity or group of entities, you can view all of the associated identities to determine and remediate risk and to fill profile gaps for better analyzation.
Identities & Risks
To view an identity and its specific details, click View Identities within an entity to open the table of associated identities.
In the Identities & risks table, select the row that you’d like to explore. From there, the Identity Details display.
You can also click on the three dots menu option to quickly view and delegate actions.
On the Identity Details page, you can view the identity’s:
Risk score - overall potential risk for this identity (1 - 100)
Main risks - cause of the risk score
Status - current state of account
Quality - the type of identity
Users - number of usernames / accounts associated to the identity (within selected entity(s))
Additional details can be viewed for each of the associated users to see more information and latest activity
If you hover on the ! icon next to a user, you can get quick information and can take action; and if you click on the icon, then Axiad provides additional details about the risk and how to remedy it
With this information, you can make changes yourself to lower the identity’s risk score, or you can Delegate the task to someone else in Axiad Mesh.
Profiling Gaps
Profiling gaps occur when the correlation between user accounts may be inaccurate. Axiad does its best to associate users to the top-level identity, but sometimes it requires manual engagement to confirm the connection. Removing profiling gaps leads to a more accurate risk score for your organization.
You can access the Profiling gaps table either from the entity details page or from the home page risk score widget. Once on the table, select the identity you’d like to investigate.
On the profiling gap side, Mesh provides a powerful correlation diagram showing the relationships between different identity profiles. On the right, strong correlations are displayed, with the arct hickness representing the level of confidence in the connection; on the left, weak correlations that need to be resolved are clearly marked.
If you click on the weak user correlation, you can view more information about profile gap to determine if these users should be associated or not. In the UI, you can confirm that they are part of the same identity or not.
Once the gap is remedied, the correlation will move to the right side of the user map.
You can also choose to Delegate this action to another Mesh user if it requires additional investigation.
