AutoFocus Tags

AutoFocus tags group a set of conditions that, when found together, indicate certain malicious behaviors or actors. Tags show you when an individual sample is part of a larger threat—like a malware family or a threat campaign—or is a trademark of a malicious actor. Tags can help you gain a larger context surrounding malicious activity, and gives you a way to further investigate the scope of that activity.
You can create your own tags, and the Unit 42 threat research team shares threat intelligence with the AutoFocus community through official Unit 42-issued tags. Unit 42 also verifies threats discovered by third-party individuals and organizations and creates tags for these threats.
Create Alerts based on a tag to be notified each time AutoFocus™ detects new samples that match the tag conditions, allowing you to take quick action to remediate possible threats. And when you search based on tags, you’ll be able to find all samples that match the tag conditions.
