AutoFocus Intelligence Summary
You can view a graphical overview of threat intelligence
that AutoFocus compiles to help you assess the pervasiveness and
risk of the following firewall artifacts:
- IP Address
- URL
- Domain
- User agent (found in the User Agent column of Data Filtering logs)
- Threat name (only for threats of the subtypes virus and wildfire-virus)
- Filename
- SHA-256 hash (found in the File Digest column of WildFire Submissions logs)
To view the AutoFocus Intelligence Summary window, you must first
have an active AutoFocus subscription and enable AutoFocus threat
intelligence (select and
edit the AutoFocus settings).
After you’ve enabled AutoFocus intelligence, hover over a log
or external dynamic list artifact to open the drop-down (
![]()
) and
then click AutoFocus:
- View Traffic, Threat, URL Filtering, WildFire Submissions, Data Filtering, and Unified logs ().
You can also launch an AutoFocus search from the firewall, to
further investigate interesting or suspicious artifacts that you
find.
