ACTIVITY REPORTS

The Reports module offers static reports based on logs saved on the firewall. These reports belong to several categories: Web, Security, Virus, Spam, Vulnerability, Network, Industrial network, Sandboxing, SD-WAN and web services.

Most reports present the Top 10 most frequently occurring values (e.g., Top 10 most frequently blocked websites), while the remaining values are grouped under “Others”. SD-WAN reports are based on metrics and operational statuses obtained when monitoring routers and their gateways.

NOTE
Reports from each category are displayed only if they were enabled in the Configuration module > Logs - Syslog - IPFIX > Report configuration). If no reports are enabled in the configuration, the Reports module will not appear.

Private data

For the purpose of compliance with the European GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), personal data (user name, source IP address, source name, source MAC address) is no longer displayed in logs and reports and have been replaced with the term "Anonymized".

To view such data, the administrator must then enable the "Logs: full access" privilege by clicking on "Logs: limited access" (upper banner of the web administration interface), then by entering an authorization code obtained from the administrator's supervisor (see the section Administrators > Ticket management). This code is valid for a limited period defined at the moment of its creation.

To release this privilege, the administrator must click on "Logs: full access" in the upper banner of the web administration interface, then click on "Release" in the dialog box that appears.

After a privilege is obtained or released, data must be refreshed.

Please note that every time a "Logs: full access" privilege is obtained or released, it will generate an entry in logs.

NOTE
For SN160(W), SN210(W), SN-S-Series-220, SN310, SN-S-Series-320 and SNi20 models, you can obtain the full feature by using an external storage medium such as an SD card (refer to the module Logs –Syslog). Only the SD format is compatible: Micro SD or Nano SD cards fitted with an adapter are not supported.

Collaborative security

For more collaborative security, based on vulnerability reports generated by Vulnerability Manager, it is now possible in just one click to increase the level of protection on a host that has been identified as vulnerable. Therefore, when critical vulnerabilities are detected, a new option will allow you to add affected hosts to a pre-set group and assign a strengthened protection profile or specific filter rules to them (quarantine zones, restricted access, etc.).

For further information, please refer to the Technical Note Collaborative security.

Possible actions on reports

Time scale	Changes the time scale in the report. Several choices are possible: last hour, views by day, last 7 days and last 30 days. Note: The last hour is calculated from the minute before the current minute. The view by day covers the whole day, except for the current day in which data runs up to the previous minute. The last 7 and 30 days refer to the period that ended the day before at midnight.
Data refresh	Refreshes displayed data.
Display the	This field can only be accessed if the selected time scale is Views by day. Select the desired date from the calendar.
Print the report	Opens the print preview window for the report. A comment field can be added to the report that has been formatted for printing. The Print button sends the file to the browser’s print module, which allows you to choose whether to print the fie or generate a PDF file.

Show/hide legend	Shows or hides the report’s legend. Le legend consists of: A color for each value in the report, Numbering that specifies the rank of the values in the report, The name of values, The amount of values, The percentage that the value represents in this report. Depending on the report, additional information or interactive features can be added to the legend (e.g., action of an alarm).

Left-clicking on a value in a report will open a menu offering several interactive features. These may be for example, providing additional information on the value, modifying a parameter of the configuration profile or launching a search in the firewall's logs. Some interactive features can only be accessed in some values of some reports.

Available reports

Web reports

The activity analyzed in the Web category is the combined activity for all queried sites, meaning those belonging to the company’s internal networks or those hosted on the internet. These reports relate to HTTP and HTTPS traffic.

For reports relating to Sites, possible interactions with the elements and the legend are the querying of a URL’s category and direct access to the URL. As for the Top Web searches, it allows relaunching the search via Google.

Visited Web sites	Top most visited web sites. These values are evaluated by the number of hits sent to the HTTP server, for the download of files needed for displaying web pages.
Visited Web domains	Top most visited web domains. Through a mechanism that aggregates the number of Websites queried, the previous report is built according to web domains, which makes it possible to avoid dividing them.
Web category consulted	Top most consulted web categories. For this report, the URL filtering module has to be enabled. Keep in mind that the sites queries include those belonging to the internal network (category Private IP Addresses).
Web sites volume	Top web sites by exchanged volume. This report is based on the volumes of data exchanged, both sent and received.
Web domains volume	Top web domains by exchanged volume. Through a mechanism that aggregates the number of Websites queried, the previous report is built according to web domains, which makes it possible to avoid dividing them.
Web category volume	Top web categories by exchanged volume. Traffic is scanned against rules on which a URL filter has been applied (Security inspection). It relates to volumes of data exchanged, both sent and received.
Users volume	Top users by volume exchanged. Authentication must be configured (refer to the section on Authentication in this Guide). It relates to volumes of data exchanged, both sent and received. This report contains sensitive data and therefore the Full access to logs (sensitive data) privilege is required in order to view it.
Blocked Web sites	Top most blocked websites. This report relates to sites that have been blocked by the ASQ engine or by URL filtering if it has been enabled (Security inspection).
Blocked Web domains	Top most blocked web domains. Through a mechanism that aggregates the number of Websites queried, the previous report is built according to web domains, which makes it possible to avoid dividing them.
Blocked Web categories	Top most blocked web categories. The URL filtering inspection is required in order to obtain these categories. This report relates to sites that have been blocked by the ASQ engine or by URL filtering if it has been enabled (Security inspection).
Web searches	Top web searches. These values relate to requests sent over the search engines Google, Bing and Yahoo. This report contains sensitive data and therefore the Full access to logs (sensitive data) privilege is required in order to view it.

Security reports

Alarm reports are based on the alarms in the Configuration module > Application protection > Applications and protections and system events in the Configuration module > Notifications > System events.

For reports relating to alarms, you can modify the action, change the alert level and access help for the selected alarm. These changes can be made to the profile concerned with the traffic that generated the alarm.

Alarms	Top most frequent alarms. This report displays the alarms that are most frequently raised when the firewall analyzes traffic.
Alarms per host	Top hosts generating alarms. Hosts that generate the most alarms are identified by their DNS names (fqdn) or IP addresses if they do not have DNS names. This report contains sensitive data and therefore the Full access to logs (sensitive data) privilege is required in order to view it.
Sessions of Administrators	This report lists the largest number of sessions on the firewall’s administration interface, regardless of privileges. This number of sessions is counted in relation to the login of the Administrator account and in relation to the IP address of the connected host. As such, the same IP address may be listed several times if different accounts have been used to log on to the firewall from the same host.
Alarms by country	Top countries generating alarms. This report sets out the countries that generate the greatest number of alarms, regardless of whether they are the source or destination of network traffic.
Host reputation	Top hosts showing highest reputation scores. This report sets out the hosts on the internal network that have the highest reputation scores, regardless of whether they are the source or destination of network traffic. This report requires the activation of host reputation management. It contains personal data, so the Full access to logs (sensitive data) privilege is required in order to view it.
Detection rate by analytics engine (Sandboxing, Antivirus, AntiSpam)	This report shows the distribution of file analyses, between sandboxing, antivirus and antispam scans.

Virus reports

The Antivirus inspection is required for these analyses.

Web virus

Top web viruses.

This report lists the viruses detected on web traffic (HTTP and HTTPS if the SSL inspection has been enabled). An interactive feature on the graph makes it possible to go to a description of the virus online (http://www.securelist.com).

Email virus

Top mail viruses.

This report lists the viruses detected on mail traffic (POP3, SMTP, POP3S and SMTPS if the SSL inspection has been enabled). An interactive feature makes it possible to go to a description of the virus online (http://www.securelist.com).

Senders of email viruses

Top senders of e-mail viruses.

Viruses via e-mail detected in the mail traffic of internal networks (SMTP and SMTPS if the SSL inspection has been enabled) are listed by sender. Senders are identified by their authenticated user logins. Authentication must therefore be configured (refer to the section on Authentication in this Guide).

This report contains sensitive data and therefore the Full access to logs (sensitive data) privilege is required in order to view it.

Spam reports

The Antispam module has to be enabled. This data is counted by recipient of spam received, by analyzing SMTP, POP3, SMTPS and POP3S traffic if the SSL scan has been enabled.

Spammed users

Top most spammed users.

This report counts spam regardless of the level of trust (level 1-Low, 2-Medium and 3-High). The user is identified by the user name of his e-mail address (without the “@” character and the domain name).

It contains personal data, so the Full access to logs (sensitive data) privilege is required in order to view it.

Spam ratio

Ratio of spam e-mails received.

This report is a ratio. Of all e-mails received and analyzed by the Antispam module, three percentages are returned. The proportion of spam, regardless of the level of trust (level 1-Low, 2-Medium and 3-High), the proportion of e-mails scanned but with a failure and the proportion of e-mails that are not considered spam.

Vulnerability reports

Vulnerabilities can be listed by host. The Vulnerability management module has to be enabled.

By default, these reports concern vulnerabilities that have been detected on internal networks as the object network_internals is defined by default in the list of network elements being monitored. The analysis therefore covers hosts belonging to internal networks, identified by a DNS name (fqdn) or the IP address if there is no DNS name. Do note that a vulnerability that may have been reported at a given moment may have been resolved by the time it is read in the report.

For more information on profiles and attack families, refer to Vulnerability management.

Vulnerable hosts	Top most vulnerable hosts.
