Analyzing entities in Amazon Detective

An entity is a single object extracted from the source data. Examples include a specific IP address, Amazon EC2 instance, or AWS account. For a list of entity types, see Types of entities in the behavior graph data structure.

An Amazon Detective entity profile is a single page that provides detailed information about the entity and its activity. You might use an entity profile to get supporting details for an investigation into a finding or as part of a general hunt for suspicious activity.
