Scoped Subgraphs
Scoped subgraphs are constrained network graph structures generated by the Cortex-side network graph job as part of the security infrastructure pipeline. These subgraphs are derived from larger stakeholder graph views and are bounded to specific organizational or security contexts. The scoping mechanism ensures that graph analysis remains relevant to particular use cases by filtering the broader network to only include nodes and edges pertinent to defined scopes.
Generation and Scoring
The network graph job generates scoped subgraphs through a validation process that accepts stakeholder graph view inputs. Once generated, the job performs scoring operations on both nodes and edges within each subgraph, assigning relevance or priority metrics that inform downstream processes. This scoring layer enables targeted analysis within bounded network spaces.
Signal Emission
As part of its operation, the scoped subgraph generation process emits warm-intro and shared-al signals. These signals communicate connection patterns and relationship information derived from the subgraph analysis, facilitating further processing or downstream visibility into the network structure and node relationships within each defined scope.
