Outdated Protection
The Outdated Protection tile shows the number of computers with a signature file that is more than three days older than the latest released file. It also shows the computers with an antivirus engine that is more than seven days older than the latest released engine.
- Protection — For at least seven days, the computer has had a version of the antivirus engine older than the latest released engine.
- Knowledge — The computer has not updated its signature file for at least three days.
- Pending Restart — The computer requires a restart to complete the update.
Click the progress bar in the tile to go to the list of computers associated with each status:
- Computers with out-of-date protection
- Computers with out-of-date knowledge
- Computers pending restart
Detected Items Allowed by the Administrator
The Detected Items Allowed by the Administrator tile shows the number of items the administrator allows which WatchGuard EPDR initially prevented from running. WatchGuard EPDR classified these programs as a threat (malware, PUP, or exploit) or as unknown files in the process of classification.
Click the tile to show specific information in a list.
To see all events related to threats and unknown files in the process of classification that the administrator allowed to run, click History.
Programs Blocked By the Administrator
The Programs Blocked by the Administrator tile shows the number of programs blocked by the administrator on the computers on the network.
Click the tile to show specific information in a list.
Classification of All Programs Run and Scanned
This tile shows the processes and programs run in your organization for the selected time period and their classification (for example, trusted programs or malware).
The data in this tile is for the entire IT network, not only computers that the administrator has permissions for.
Programs under classification appear in the tile after WatchGuard EPDR classifies them:
Program Classification
- Trusted Programs — Programs run in the selected period that WatchGuard EPDR classified as trusted.
- Malware — Programs that tried to run in the selected period, and WatchGuard EPDR classified as malware, zero-day threats, or targeted attacks.
- Exploits — Exploit attacks that compromised or tried to compromise trusted programs on computers.
- PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) — Programs that tried to run in the selected period, and WatchGuard EPDR classified as PUPs.
Malware Activity, PUP Activity, and Exploit Activity
These tiles show incidents detected in processes run by the workstations and servers on the network, as well as their file systems. Incidents are reported by real-time scans as well as on-demand scan tasks.
WatchGuard EPDR shows an incident in the Malware Activity and PUP Activity tiles for each computer or threat pair found on the network. If an incident occurs multiple times in five minutes, WatchGuard EPDR only registers the first incident. The same incident can register a maximum of two times every 24 hours.
- Run shows the number of malware that successfully ran on the network.
- Accessed Data shows the number of times in which the threat accessed user information on the computer hard disk.
- External Connections shows the number of times there were connections to other computers.
-
The threats copied from computers on the network show the IP address of the computer from which an infection originated, as well as the number of times that IP address was the source of a detection (in parentheses). To open the corresponding list, click the IP address.
- To open the Malware Activity or PUP Activity list to show a list of the affected computers and malware or PUP incidents, click the tile.
Exploit Activity
The Exploit Activity tile shows the number of vulnerability exploit attacks against Windows computers on the network. WatchGuard EPDR reports an incident in the Exploit Activity tile for each computer or different exploit attack pair found on the network. If an attack repeats several times, WatchGuard EPDR reports a maximum of 10 incidents every 24 hours for each computer-exploit pair found.
Click the tile to open the Exploit Activity list to show a list of the affected computers and exploit incidents.
Network Attack Activity
The Network Attack Activity tile shows the number of attempted network attacks against Windows computers on the network. WatchGuard EPDR creates a single incident per hour for all network attacks of the same type and with the same source IP address.
Click the tile to open the Network Attack Activity list to show a list of the affected computers and network attack incidents.
Currently Blocked Programs Being Classified
The Currently Blocked Programs Being Classified tile shows the number of programs that WatchGuard EPDR currently blocks.
Blocked applications have one of these colors:
- Orange — Applications with a medium probability of being malware.
- Dark Orange — Applications with a high probability of being malware.
- Red — Applications with a very high probability of being malware.
The threats copied from computers on the network show the IP address of the computer from which an infection originated, as well as the number of times that IP address was the source of a detection (in parentheses). To open the corresponding list, click the IP address.
Click the tile to review a list of files that WatchGuard EPDR determined to be risky before classification. To remove a program from the list, from the options 
menu for a computer, select Delete from list.
WatchGuard Endpoint Security continues to consider deleted items as unknown. If they attempt to run again, they reappear in the Currently Blocked Programs Being Classified list.
Threats Detected by Antivirus
This tile shows all intrusion attempts that WatchGuard EPDR detected in the selected time period. The data covers all infection vectors and all supported platforms. Administrators can get specific data (volume, type, form of attack) related to the malware.
Click the tile to review detailed information about detected threats.
