Configure and Activate Update Failure and Attack Alerts

You can configure the UTM to send an email alert when a failure, malware attack, malware
outbreak attack, Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) attack, or IPS outbreak attack occurs. Six
types of alerts (seven types for the UTM9S) are supported:
• Update failure alert. Sent when an attempt to update any component such as a pattern
file or scan engine firmware fails.
• Malware alert. Sent when the UTM detects a malware threat.
• ReadyNAS failure alert (UTM9S only). Sent when an integrated ReadyNAS is down or
disconnected.
• License expiration alert. Sent when one or more licenses (web protection, email
protection, support and maintenance) are near their expiration dates and when they
expire.
• Malware outbreak alert. Sent when the malware outbreak criteria that you have
configured are reached or exceeded. Outbreak criteria are based on the number of
malware threats detected within a specified period of time.
• IPS alert. Sent when the UTM detects an attack.
• IPS outbreak alert. Sent when the IPS outbreak criteria that you have configured are
reached or exceeded. Outbreak criteria are based on the number of IPS attacks detected
within a specified period of time.
