Reports for firewall protection
You can view information about firewall detections in administrative reports available from the
SecurityCenter. Reports provide details about the specific threats detected over the past year.
•
Unrecognized Programs — Lists programs detected on client computers that are not recognized by
virus and spyware protection and firewall protection. Allows you to approve Internet applications
from within the report.
•
Inbound Events Blocked by Firewall — Lists the incoming communication attempts that firewall
protection prevented client computers from receiving, where they originated, and to which
computer they were sent.
Unrecognized Programs report
Use the Unrecognized Programs report to view a list of unapproved Internet applications that firewall
protection detected on your network.
This list is cumulative — previously detected programs remain in the list, and new detections are
added each time you access the report.
