Related Resources

Details on Using the InsightCloudSec Related Resources Feature

Related Resources provides a graph-based visual view of resources connected to your Compute and Storage resources. Related Resources is available to InsightCloudSec deployments versioned 23.3.28 or later. You can use this view to examine threats and uncover deep insights into your cloud footprints. We will continue to update and expand features for this capability, focusing on delivering an experience that provides a full Attack Path Analysis.

For questions or issues reach out to your CSM or to support through the Customer Support Portal.

Feature Details

Once the Related Resources modal is open, a graph of all the resources connected to the selected resource will appear. Displaying related resources this way provides a more holistic view of the resources' surrounding environment, giving you the context needed to effectively remediate vulnerabilities. Each resource will appear with an icon, type, and name.

Resources in a Group

Sometimes resources will be grouped together for a better viewing experience. Double-clicking a resource that is in a group (for example: "3 in Group") opens a window containing a list of all resources in the same group. From here, resources can be removed from the group. (This is purely a cosmetic change; it will not affect the resource's actual relationships.)
