  • Publication number: 20240015165
    Abstract: A method includes: accessing objects, generated by a set of sources, representing attributes of assets, affiliated with a computer network, including a set of endpoint devices and a first application; partitioning the objects into object groups including a first object group representing the first application; aggregating objects in the first object group into a first user container representing the first application during the first time interval; and, in response to selection of the first application at an operator portal: generating a visualization representing a subset of endpoint devices, in the set of endpoint devices, on which the first application is installed during the first time interval based on a set of attributes, exhibited by the first application during the first time interval, contained in the first application container; and rendering the visualization at the operator interface.

  • Publication number: 20240015164
    Abstract: A method includes: accessing objects, generated by a set of sources, representing attributes of users affiliated with a computer network; partitioning the objects into object groups, each object group representing a particular user; for each object group, aggregating objects in the object group into a user container, in a set of user containers, representing a user during the first time interval; generating a manifest of users affiliated with the computer network during the first time interval based on the set of user containers; and, in response to selection of a first user in the manifest of users at an operator portal: generating a visualization representing a set of attributes exhibited by the first user during the first time interval.
