To detect threats quickly and keep the protection level of a client device up to date, you have to regularly update databases and application modules on the device.

You can update databases on a device in one of the following ways:

  • From the alert or incident details
  • From the device details
  • From an investigation graph

You can also configure the response action to run automatically when creating or editing a playbook.

To update databases on a device, you must have one of the following XDR roles: Main administrator, Tenant administrator, Junior analyst, Tier 1 analyst, Tier 2 analyst.

It might take up to 15 minutes to launch a response action due to the synchronization interval between the managed device and Administration Server.
