Detections

The Detections screen is the main view of the PocketSOC app. It shows a live feed of security alerts from your connected vendor(s).

Detection feed

Each detection in the feed shows:

  • Severity badge — Critical, High, Medium, Low, or Informational
  • Detection name — The alert title from your vendor
  • Hostname — The affected machine
  • Timestamp — When the detection occurred
  • Status — New, In Progress, True Positive, False Positive, etc.
  • Vendor badge — Which vendor reported the detection (CrowdStrike or Defender)

Filtering

Tap the filter bar at the top to filter detections by:

  • Severity — Show only Critical/High, Medium, etc.
  • Status — Filter by detection status
  • Product — Filter by vendor (useful if you have multiple configurations)
  • Time range — Last 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, etc.

Active filters are shown as chips in the filter bar. Tap a chip to remove it.

Pull to refresh

Pull down on the detections list to fetch the latest alerts from your vendor's API.

Detection detail

Tap any detection to open the full detail view:

  • Summary — Full description, severity, status, and assigned user
  • MITRE ATT&CK — Tactics and techniques associated with the detection
  • Affected host — Machine name, IP address, OS, and last seen time
  • Timeline — Key events in the detection lifecycle
  • Process Graph — Visual process tree (see Process Graph)

Swipe actions

Swipe left on a detection in the feed to access quick actions:

  • Assign — Assign the detection to a team member (CrowdStrike only)
  • Status — Change the detection status
  • Containment — Isolate or lift isolation on the affected host
  • Close — Close the detection with a reason

Host containment

From the detection detail view, you can isolate the affected host to prevent lateral movement during an active incident:

  • Isolate — Network-isolates the machine, blocking all connections except to the vendor management console
  • Lift isolation — Restores normal network connectivity once the threat is resolved

The current isolation state is displayed on the detection detail. States include:

StateMeaning
Not isolatedHost has normal network access
IsolatingIsolation is in progress
IsolatedHost is network-isolated
LiftingIsolation is being removed

WARNING

Host isolation is a disruptive action. The isolated machine will lose network connectivity except to the vendor management console. Coordinate with the affected user before isolating.

Bulk actions

  1. Tap the checkmark icon in the toolbar to enter selection mode.
  2. Select multiple detections by tapping them.
  3. Use the toolbar actions to Assign, Update Status, Contain/Lift Isolation, or Close all selected detections at once.

Profile switcher

If you have access to multiple vendor profiles, tap the profile icon in the top-left corner of the toolbar to switch between them. The detection feed refreshes to show alerts from the selected profile.
