Explanation:
In Chronicle SIEM, aliasing applies to entities that may appear with multiple identifiers across different data sources. This includes:
-
Users: The same individual might be identified by different usernames, email addresses, or other identifiers in various logs.
-
Devices/Hosts/IPs: A single device or endpoint might be referenced by its hostname, IP address, or even alternate names. Aliasing helps consolidate these into one unified entity.
-
Other Entity Indicators: Any other type of entity, such as applications, containers, or services that could appear with multiple identifiers in different contexts, can benefit from aliasing to group related information together.
The goal of aliasing is to provide a unified and coherent view of an entity’s behavior or associated incidents, regardless of how it is recorded in each data source. This facilitates more effective analysis and correlation of events within the platform.
