If you're on a Mandiant Security Validation (MSV) release prior to 4.12.1.0, you may notice that a license expired watermark appears on the Network Map page on your Director.
Network Map Page with License Expired Watermark on an MSV Director
This watermark is related to the software that renders the Network Map and does not affect functionality of the product.
Use one of the following options to fix the watermark issue permanently:
- Update to the latest release (4.12.1.0 or later) or migrate to Mandiant Advantage Security Validation (MA-SV).
- As an additional option, you can upgrade to release 4.12.0.1, which provides a fix for this issue and if you need more time to complete the update to 4.12.1.0 or later.
Overview
The map provides a graphical display of Security Zones, Actors contained in each zone, security technologies identified when Jobs are run, and the relationships between elements.
The map can be accessed by selecting Environment > Map. A version of the map is also used when running Sequences and Evaluations, and on the AEDA Dashboard.

Elements that appear on the map are described in the following table:
| Icon | Description |
|---|---|
![]() | Represents a collapsed Security Zone or Protected Theater. |
![]() | Represents a collapsed Security Zone that includes "internet" in its name. |
![]() | Represents an expanded Security Zone or Protected Theater, which shows the Zone's Actors. These are expanded by default. |
| varies | Actors are represented as a circle with their OS logo contained in the circle. If there is an icon on the edge of the circle, a security technology was identified when the Actor was installed. |
![]() | Represents an Actor that doesn't have a Windows, Mac, Ubuntu, or CentOS/RHEL (RHEL currently uses the CentOS logo) operating system. |
| varies | Represents Security Technologies identified when Jobs run (security technology logos). |
![]() | Represents general communication information. |
![]() | Represents communication information, including the direction of communication, for the selected Actor. |
