# messaging\_meta-messaging

**Explanation**

This NDM is designed to detect the presence of any "Meta" messaging applications on a network.

**What to Look For**

To examine the results of the messaging\_meta-messaging event, customers should look for patterns of messaging traffic on their networks. This might include traffic from popular messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, or Instagram. Customers should also examine endpoint devices for evidence of messaging applications installed or active. If messaging traffic is identified, customers should investigate the source and destination of the traffic to determine if it is legitimate or potentially malicious. Remediation may involve blocking or restricting certain messaging applications, or investigating further to identify potential security threats.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.fusion.vectra.ai/detection-models/library/operational-governance/messaging_meta-messaging.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
