2. Investigate events using search and filters.

   An important part of your role with the Prisma Access Browser is analyzing events, and looking for patterns and anomalies in user behavior. Whenever you notice unexpected or unusual activity, you need to see if you need to tune the rules to meet the needs and requirements of the end users. The Prisma Access Browser allows you to search and filter the events to discover and analyze user behavior patterns. At the top of the screen, you can search for specific events using specific data to help find a particular event. You can also narrow the list of events by filtering on any of the following Events screen columns:

   • Time—Select a predefined time period for which to display events, or create a Custom time period.
   • Category—Narrow down the type of events displayed by selecting one or more categories. Available event categories include:
     • Access—Events involving access to websites and apps.
     • DLP—Events involving file upload, file download, and clipboard controls (copy/paste)
     • Extensions—Events involving installation, removal, enabling, and disabling extensions.
     • PIN Code—Events involving access to apps and features that require a PIN code or authorization.

   • User—The user associated with the event.

Real-Time Analysis for Malicious Sites

This task describes the Real time analysis engine.

The Prisma Access Browser has a Web Scan engine that scans URLs in real-time. The results of the scan are used to determine whether the URL is malicious or not. The browser uses the Phobos Real-Time Analysis or the Palo Alto Networks database (PAN-DB).

The particular tool that catches the malicious URL is displayed in the Event log and in the drawer. You can filter the log for the selected analysis tool.
