The Threat Insights dashboard provides a holistic view of all threats that the Palo Alto Networks security services detected and blocked in your network. The dashboard shows threats across the security subscriptions you are using; DNS Security, WildFire, URL Filtering, and Threat Prevention. You can examine threat trends, filter threats by threat categories, security services that allowed or blocked threats, and actions taken on threats. You can also view the impacted applications, users, and security policy rules that are allowing or blocking threats.
You can access the Threat Insights dashboard in Prisma Access and
AIOps for NGFW

The computation of total, allowed, and blocked threats are as follows:
  • Total Threats count is the total number of threat sessions seen in your deployment for a given period.
  • Allowed Threats count is the total number of threat sessions that were allowed based on your security policy configuration for a given period.
  • Blocked Threats count is the total number of threat sessions that were blocked based on your security policy configuration for a given period.
Top 10 Threats
  • Go to Threat Insights > View Threat Trends
View the threats that are most frequently seen in your network. Click the threat name to view the allowed and blocked threat activity and the security services that enforced the action on threats. If a threat is a security artifact such as a file hash, a URL, a domain, or an IP address (IPv4 or IPv6), you can search on the threat to know the Palo Alto Networks threat intelligence analysis and the third party analysis findings.
