About the Threats Page

To access this page, click Monitor > Logs > Threats.

Use the Threats page to view information about security events based on IPS policies. Analyzing IPS and Content Security logs yields useful security management information such as abnormal events, attacks, viruses, or worms.

The following examples indicate the types of logs that the Threats page displays:

AV_VIRUS_DETECETED
AV_FILE_NOT_SCANNED_DROPPED_MT, IDP_ATTACK_LOG_EVENT
CONTENET_FILETER_BLOCKED
ANTISPAM_SPAM_DETECTED_MT
RT_AAMW - AAMW_HOST_INFECTED_EVENT_LOG
SMS_MALICIOUS_VERDICT
ANTI_VIRUS_ACTION_LOG

Using the time-range slider, you can focus on the area of activity that interests you the most. Once the time range is selected, all the data presented in your view is refreshed automatically. You can also use the custom button to set a custom time range.

There are two ways to view your data. You can select either the Summary View tab or the Detail View tab.

Note:

This information is sourced from IPS and Content Security features.

Summary View

The data presented in the area graph is refreshed automatically based on the selected time range. You can use widgets to view critical information such as IPS severities, top sources, top destinations, top reporting devices, top IPS attacks, top source countries, and top destination countries.

Table 1 provides guidelines on using the widgets on the Detail View page.
