Relationship between segments and Security Event and Problem data

Hello,

I'm reaching out for help in understanding the relationship between segments and Security Event and Problem data in Dynatrace.

I'm trying to create a segment that would allow users to work with a single unified segment across the different Dynatrace interfaces.

However, my segment doesn't seem to cover these data types:

For Security Events, it's possible to include them in the segment, but it seems impossible to apply a filter based on tags.
For Problems, they don't appear in the list of available entities. I believe they need to be handled through Events using entity_tags.

Could you share the methods you use to surface Security Event and Problem data within your segments?
