X-Force Data on the Dashboard
The Internet Threat Information Center widget on the Threat and Security Monitoring dashboard uses X-Force data to provide up-to-date advisories on security issues, daily threat assessments, security news, and threat repositories.
The dashboard widget uses an embedded RSS feed to display X-Force data in the dashboard widget. The JSA console must have access to the Internet to receive data from the X-Force update server (www.iss.net).
The dashboard uses four AlertCon threat level images to provide a visual indicator of the current threat level.
Table 1: AlertCon Threat Levels
Level | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
1 | Normal threats | Ordinary activity that compromises unprotected networks, minutes to hours after JSA connects to the Internet. |
2 | Increased vigilance | Vulnerabilities or online threats to computer networks that requires vulnerability assessment and corrective action. |
3 | Focused attacks | Specific weakness and vulnerabilities that are the target of Internet attacks and require immediate defensive action. |
4 | Catastrophic threats | Critical security situations within a network that dictate an immediate and focused defensive action. This condition might be imminent or ongoing. |
