The Process Lineage Widget in the Incident View of Symantec Endpoint Security provides a visual
representation of the parent-child relationship among related security events, such as processes or
activities stemming from a primary malicious action. This widget is valuable for tracing the origins
and propagation paths of potential threats within a system, allowing security teams to identify the
initial process that triggered subsequent actions. By displaying this hierarchical relationship, the
Process Lineage Widget supports in-depth forensic analysis, helping administrators understand how
an incident unfolded and assess the impact of each related security event in context.
