Benefits
The Security Dashboard provides the latest threat protection information to keep you informed
about potential threats being blocked by SonicWALL security appliances. If you subscribe to
SonicWALL’s security services, including Gateway Anti-Virus, Gateway Anti-Spyware,
Intrusion Prevention Service (IPS), and Content Filtering Service, you are automatically
protected from the threats reported by the SonicWALL Security Dashboard. SonicWALL’s
security services include ongoing new signature updates to protect against the latest virus and
spyware attacks. For information about activating SonicWALL security services, refer to the
“Purchasing Security Services” on page 52.
The Security Dashboard provides insight into threats over time, and can be configured to
display data from multiple time periods. The SonicWALL Security Dashboard can be viewed
easily in the System > Security Dashboard page of the SonicWALL appliance management
interface, or as a custom generated PDF file.
