- The top application types on your network
- The most heavily used applications on your network
- The users with the most applications
- The users with the most data transfer
- Applications that use non-standard ports
You can this dashboard to know the security challenges associated with the applications
traversing your network. Application Usage findings can help you to refine your security
policy to control unsanctioned and risky applications.
If an app is a container app, then the displayed statistics are a roll-up of all the
applications in the container. For example, gmail is a container app (there is no
app-id for gmail). It groups applications such as gmail-posting, gmail-downloading,
gmail-uploading, and so forth. The risk score set for this container app is the
highest risk score found for the contained applications. All other metrics are
calculated by summing the values found for the contained applications.
