Detections
Purpose
Detections is the complete, searchable record of everything the platform has ever found — across every source and category — regardless of triage status. Where Intelligence is "the queue to work," Detections is "the permanent ledger." Nothing is deleted; dismissed items move to the Bin rather than disappearing, preserving a full audit trail.
Detection categories
| Category | Examples | Typical source |
|---|---|---|
| Website & Domains | Phishing pages, typosquat domains, cloned login pages | Web crawlers, domain registration feeds |
| Social Media | Impersonation profiles, fake customer-support accounts | Platform APIs (Twitter/X, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, etc.) |
| Mobile Apps | Unauthorized/rogue apps using your brand in app stores | App store scanners (official + third-party stores) |
| Dark Web | Mentions of your brand, leaked data, credentials for sale | Dark web / paste-site feeds |
| Scams | Fraudulent promotions, fake giveaways, investment scams | Web + social crawlers |
| Counterfeit | Fake product listings on marketplaces | Marketplace scanners |
| Advertisement | Malicious/impersonating paid ads | Ad-network monitors |
| Data Exposure | Leaked credentials, exposed configs/keys tied to your brand | Dark web feeds, code/config leak scanners |
| Assets | Your own monitored digital assets (domains, social handles, app IDs) — the baseline for comparison | Configured by you |
| Bin | Dismissed/archived detections kept for audit history | Result of Intelligence triage |
What each detection record contains
- Primary identifier — the domain, handle, app ID, or listing URL.
- Classification & severity/priority badges.
- Status — New, In Review, Dismissed, Promoted, Resolved.
- Evidence — screenshots, metadata (hosting provider, IP address, geographic location, platform, seller info where relevant).
- Created / reported / status-reason columns for a complete audit trail.
- Import support — detections can also be manually imported (e.g. a threat reported directly by a customer, employee, or partner outside of automated collection).

Typical use
- Use category-specific views (Website & Domains, Social Media, Mobile Apps, etc.) to focus on one channel at a time — useful when a specific team owns a specific channel (e.g., social media team owns Social Media detections).
- Use filters and columns (classification, severity, status, date) to build saved views for recurring reviews, such as a weekly "new critical detections" report.
- Check the Bin periodically to audit what's been dismissed and confirm the reasons still hold up — useful during compliance reviews or when onboarding a new analyst.
- Use manual import for threats reported through support tickets or discovered by employees so they get the same lifecycle tracking as automated detections.
