The Carbon Black Cloud dashboard provides a high-level overview of your environment health and enables you to quickly navigate to items of interest. You can customize the dashboard tiles and display data for specific time periods and policies.

Widget Definitions List

You can use the predefined widgets in the Carbon Black Cloud console to view the health of all objects, applications, and processes in your environment.

You can add and remove widgets from your dashboard, resize them, and export the displayed data.

Prevented Malware A summary of malware within the specified time frame. Click any malware type to open the filtered Alerts page.
  • Suspect Malware: Processes that could be a vessel for malware but do not have a reputation for malicious behavior. This includes MSBuild, InstallUtil, MSHTA.exe, and others.
  • Known Malware: Files identified as having no purpose other than performing malicious actions on the asset for the benefit of an attacker.
  • Non-Malware: Processes that were stopped due to your local banned list or malicious behavior, including dual-use files and tools. This includes the case where the reputation is executable (for example, a PowerShell or Winword.exe file), but it is behaving badly.
