The table contains the following information:

  • Created is the rule creation time.
  • Apt_icon_Importance_new —Alert importance for the Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform user depending on the impact this alert may have on computer or corporate LAN security based on Kaspersky experience.

    By default, alerts generated by uploaded YARA rules are assigned a high level of importance.

  • Type is the type of the rule depending on the operating mode of the application and the role of the server which generated the rule:
    • Global—Created on the PCN server. These rules are used to scan files and objects received at the PCN server and all SCN servers connected to that PCN server. Scanned files and objects belong to the tenant which the user is managing in the application web interface.
    • Local—Created on the SCN server. These rules are used to scan files and objects received at the SCN server. Scanned files and objects belong to the tenant which the user is managing in the application web interface.

  • File name is the name of the file from which the rule was imported.
  • Created by is the name of the user whose account was used to import the rule.
