Use Cases

Use cases are special groupings of related ArcSight content that address specific security issues and business requirements.

Use cases provide an integrated Console-based alternative for viewing and interacting with resources to the standard one-resource-at-a-time viewing method offered in the Resource tree of the Navigator panel. You can configure shared resources in a single operation, and export related resources in an ArcSight Resource Bundle (arb) for use in other ArcSight instances.

Micro Focus provides use cases for some of the standard content that is installed with ESM and for additional content (Security Use Cases) provided through the Marketplace. Each Security Use Case comes with its own documentation that provides information about how to install, configure, and use the use case.

Use case configuration requires having a network model in place. Model your network first as part of the initial configuration of ESM. Follow instructions in Modeling the Network.
