The Application Command Center

As opposed to reports that run on a daily basis, the ACC is a ‘live’ correlation tool that lets you get a quick look into what is happening in your network by using simple graphs that you can drill down into for more information. There are four default tabs:

  • Network Activity, which gives you an overview of all the applications seen in the specified timeframe, their byte count, the session count, the threat count, and the number of users. If you scroll down, you will see more detailed source and destination graphs and which rules have been hit most.
  • Threat Activity gives you a breakdown of all the types of threats and how many times they were seen.
  • Blocked Activity shows which applications have been blocked due to threats, content, or URL actions.
  • Tunnel Activity is used to report on tunnel inspection for GRE, GPRS, and non-encrypted IPSec.

You can also add a tab and create a page with all the widgets...
