On the Security Dashboard page in WatchGuard Cloud, you can see the top threats in each security area protected by Subscription Services.

The Security Dashboard includes the top threats in these categories:

  • Top Blocked Advanced Malware (APT)
  • Top Blocked Botnet Sites
  • Top Blocked Clients
  • Top Blocked Destinations
  • Top Blocked URL Categories
  • Top Blocked Malware
  • Top Blocked Applications
  • Top Blocked Application Categories
  • Top Blocked Protocols
  • Top Blocked Attacks

Each of these categories appears only if there is data available in that category for the selected date range.

To enable Security Services Statistics for the Security Dashboard:

  1. In Policy Manager, select Setup > Logging.
  2. Click Performance Statistics.
  3. Select the Security Services Statistics check box.

If your Firebox has Botnet Detection enabled, and there are log messages related to botnet traffic on your Firebox, when you filter on the details in a category, the Top Blocked Clients section shows the top clients that were blocked when they tried to connect to a botnet site, and the Top Blocked Destination section shows the top hosts that the botnet site tried to connect to.

If this dashboard is not available for your device, follow the steps to Enable Logging for this Dashboard.
