Task

What risks were detected in the network?
Note: Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition pulls the events that
appear in the reports from the event logs on your management servers. The event
logs contain time-stamps in the client computers' time zones. When the
management server receives the events, it converts the event time-stamps to
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) for insertion into the database. When you create
reports, the reporting software displays information about events in the local
time of the computer on which you view the reports.
