ZeroLock® Management Console – The Dashboard

The home screen of the ZeroLock Management Console (ZMC) is the Dashboard. Providing a wealth of information, the display is split into five (5) areas: Banner, List of Homepages, Status, Recent Alerts, and Activity Log.

Step_1_Dashboard

BANNER

Image_2_ZMC Banner v4.2.0_KB-1

The ZeroLock banner is the starting point for managing the ZeroLock Management Console (ZMC) itself. From this point on the upper right of the ZMC, you can access the current alerts status, edit the contact information for the logged in user, change the password for the user, and set up Multifactor Authentication (MFA) for the user.

Image_3_Navigation Menu

  1. Open Alerts - Selecting OPEN ALERTS takes you to the ALERTS section. The three (3) tabs to the right represent the counters for the severity types of alerts – High, Medium, and Low. Selecting any of these will also take you to the ALERTS section.
  2. User Profile - To the right of the counters is the Profile button. The initial on the button represents the logged in user who, in this case, is the Default Tenant ‘superuser’. Selecting that button, a drop-down screen appears with the Username and Manage Account. The username is static, but Manage Account is interactive.
  3. Logout - This will log you out of the ZeroLock Management Console.

For more information on the ZMC Banner please use the link - ZMC Banner.

List of Homepages

On the left side of the screen there is a list that links to the corresponding homepage and, like the ZeroLock banner, is visible on the left side of the screen regardless of the section you are in. The section you are currently in will appear blue on this list.

White arrows indicate that there are subsections within a homepage. For example, selecting Manage Users opens a drop-down list showing the subsections Users, User Roles, and Tenants. Selecting one of these will take you to that subsection.

Step_4_Homepage List

Each homepage has its Knowledge Base article(s), which may be found on the ValiCyber support page.

STATUS

Step_5_Status Board-1

The Status section consists of twelve (12) tiles that provide a snapshot of the current state of each monitored section of the ZeroLock protected systems (Endpoints).

The tiles are divided as follows:

One (1) tile for the total number of alerts to date. 

Four (4) tiles are dedicated to specific malicious activity that ZeroLock is protecting the endpoints from.

  • Ransomware
  • Cryptojacking
  • Tampering
  • Blocked

Three (3) tiles representing the protection alerts generated for:

  • Program Execution
  • Network Access
  • File Access

Four (4) tiles depicting the following information:

  • The total number of alerts generated by each endpoint.
  • A visual of the connection status of the endpoints.
  • SSH MFA logins for both successful and failed attempts.
  • The number of alerts generated each day over the last 7 days.

RECENT ALERTS

Step_6_Recent Alerts-1

An alert is generated when ZeroLock detects system behavior that meets criteria set forth by previously configured Control Policies and Rules.

Recent Alerts provides information for up to 100 alerts. The most recent four (4) alerts are visible, with the ability to scroll down to see any previous alerts.

  2. Time - Date and Time of the alert event. Format: dd-mm-yy hh:mm:ss
  3. Status - Options for cyberthreats: Blocked, Released, Remediated, and Suspended. For SSH MFA only Success is shown. The number of Failed Attempts may be found on the SSH MFA tile on the Dashboard.
  4. Severity - Rating of attack: Low (Green) or High (Red).
  5. Type –
    • Ransomware, Cryptojacking, or Tampering.
    • Blocked – A process has matched a HASH rule in place.
    • SSH-MFA - successful SSH-MFA session creation.
    • Lockdown Rule – Lists the type of rule violated.
  6. Endpoint ID - By number.
  7. Hostname – By name.
  8. Endpoint IP – The IP number of the endpoint.
  9. INFO – If malware, the number of files infected. If SSH-MFA, User ID and IP address. If a Lockdown rule, the name of the rule violated.
    • Malware - E:1 – 45 files affected
