Programs Allowed by the Administrator
These tiles show the number of programs allowed by the administrator which WatchGuard EDR Core initially prevented from running. These programs were classified as a threat (malware, PUP, or exploit) or 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.
Malware Activity, Pup Activity, and Exploit Activity
These tiles show incidents detected in the 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 EDR Core generates an incident in the Malware and PUP tiles for each computer or threat pair found on the network. If an incident occurs multiple times in five minutes, only the first incident is registered. The same incident can be registered 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 the Windows computers on the network. WatchGuard EDR Core reports an incident in the Exploit Activity tile for each computer or different exploit attack pair found on the network. If an attack is repeated several times, a maximum of 10 incidents are reported every 24 hours for each computer-exploit pair found.
