Attack Reports
The Attack Reports section includes reports that show
details of attacks that have been identified by the firewall. These reports
help in identifying the top attackers, the top targets for the attacks
and other details like protocol used, the priority of the attack and the
status of the attack.
On the top right side of the Report screen, there will be three combo boxes. They are:
- Top 5
- Filter by
