Using the SecurityCenter
Generation of security reports
Generation of security reports
Whenever a client computer checks for updates, it also sends information about itself
It sends its scanning history, update status, and detections to the SecurityCenter website in encrypted
XML files. It uploads the data directly through an Internet connection or via a relay server. Report data
is saved for one year.
To view this data, click the Reports tab to display the Reports page. You can display reports that include
all the computers on your account (using the same company key) or only computers in a particular
group.
Why use reports?
Reports provide valuable tools for monitoring detections and fine-tuning your protection strategy. Only
the reports available for the types of protection installed appear on this page.
Emailing and scheduling reports
You can run reports on demand or schedule them to at run regular intervals and then send them as
email attachments to one or more recipients.
