The Falcon platform provides a variety of visual Reports and References designed to help security teams identify geographic anomalies that may indicate unauthorized access or compromised credentials. The Global connection heat map is a specialized dashboard that aggregates network telemetry and visualizes it based on the geographic origin of the connections associated with Falcon-managed hosts.

This report is a vital component of a hunter's toolkit for "Geofencing" or identifying "Impossible Travel" scenarios. By providing a high-level visual representation of where in the world host connections are originating, it allows analysts to quickly spot outliers—such as a connection from a country where the organization has no employees, offices, or known business interests. While the "Geo location activity" (Option A) might sound similar, the "Global connection heat map" is the specific built-in name for the dashboard that provides the density-based visualization required to distinguish between a single anomalous connection and a widespread, automated attack originating from a specific region. Once an anomaly is identified on the heat map, a hunter can pivot directly into the associated events to see which aid (Agent ID) is involved and what specific processes or users are initiating those suspicious international connections.
