Generation of security reports
Whenever a client computer checks for updates, it also 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.
