FireSIGHT System User Guide
 
Chapter 2      Logging into the FireSIGHT System
  Using the Context Menu
When you are no longer actively using the web interface, Cisco recommends that you log out, even if 
you are only stepping away from your web browser for a short period of time. Logging out ends your 
web session and ensures that no one can use the appliance with your credentials.
By default, your session automatically logs you out after 1 hour of inactivity, unless you are otherwise 
configured to be exempt from session timeout. Users with the Administrator role can change the session 
timeout interval in the system policy. For more information, see 
.
To log out of the appliance:

Using the Context Menu
License: 
feature dependent
For your convenience, certain pages in the web interface support a pop-up context menu that you can use 
as a shortcut for accessing other features in the FireSIGHT System. The contents of the menu depend on 
the hotspot where you access it—not only the page but also the specific data. 
For example, IP address hotspots in event views, intrusion event packet views, the dashboard, and the 
Context Explorer provide additional options. Use the IP address context menu by right-clicking on the 
hotspot to learn more about the host associated with that address, including any available whois and host 
profile information. Except on the DC500 Defense Center, which does not support Security Intelligence 
filtering, you can also add an individual IP address to the Security Intelligence global whitelist or 
blacklist.
As another example, SHA-256 value hotspots in event views and the dashboard allow you to add a file’s 
SHA-256 hash value to the clean list or custom detection list, or view the entire hash value for copying. 
Note that this functionality is also not supported on the DC500 Defense Center.
The following list describes many of the options available in the context menu on various pages of the 
web interface. On pages or locations where the Cisco context menu is not supported, the normal context 
menu for your browser appears. 
Access Control Policy Editor
The access control policy editor contains hotspots over each access control rule. You can use the 
context menu to insert new rules and categories; cut, copy, and paste rules; set the rule state; and 
edit the rule.
NAT Policy Editor
The NAT policy editor contains hotspots over each NAT rule. You can use the context menu to insert 
new rules; cut, copy, and paste rules; set the rule state; and edit the rule.
Intrusion Rule Editor
The intrusion rule editor contains hotspots over each intrusion rule. You can use the context menu 
to edit the rule, set the rule state (including disabling the rule), configure thresholding and 
suppression options, and view rule documentation.
