Beyond the basic, wide-ranging data that the Context Explorer initially displays, you have the option to
filter that data for a more granular contextual picture of activity on your network. Filters encompass all
types of FireSIGHT data except URL information, support exclusion as well as inclusion, can be applied
quickly by clicking on Context Explorer graph data points, and affect the entire explorer. You can apply
up to 20 filters at once to create a highly specific portrait tailored to the needs of your network and
organization. Filters that you apply are reflected in the Context Explorer URL so you can bookmark
useful filter sets in your browser program for later use.
