## Goal{% #goal %}

Detects instances where malware was detected but allowed through the iboss security gateway, potentially exposing endpoints to infection.

## Strategy{% #strategy %}

Monitor security events with iboss to identify risky traffic and exposed users or devices where malicious content is allowed.

## Triage and Response{% #triage-and-response %}

1. Identify the user `{{@usr.name}}` and the device `{{@computerName}}` involved in the malware-allowed event.
1. Review the client IP address `{{@network.client.ip}}` for any signs of suspicious or malicious activity.
1. Isolate the endpoint if necessary, perform a malware scan, and apply remediation steps.
1. Investigate potential policy gaps or misconfigurations that allowed the threat.
