Use the Threat Details dialog to learn more about the threat
signatures with which the firewall is equipped and the events that
trigger those signatures. Threat details are provided for:
- Threat logs that record the threats that the firewall detects ()MonitorLogsThreat
- The top threats found in your network ()ACCThreat Activity
- Threat signatures that you want to modify or exclude from enforcement ()ObjectsSecurity ProfilesAnti-Spyware/Vulnerability Protection
When you find a threat signature you want to learn more about,
hover over the
Threat Name
or the threat ID
and
click Exception
to review the threat details.
The threat details allow you to easily check whether a threat signature
is configured as an exception to your security policy and to find
the latest Threat Vault information about a specific threat. The
Palo Alto Networks Threat Vault database is integrated with the
firewall, allowing you to view expanded details about threat signatures
in the firewall context or launch a Threat Vault search in a new
browser window for a logged threat.Depending on the type of threat you’re viewing, the details include
all or some of the threat details described in the following table.
Threat Details | Description |
|---|---|
Name | Threat signature name. |
ID | Unique threat signature ID. Select View
in Threat Vault to open a Threat Vault search in a new
browser window and look up the latest information that the Palo
Alto Networks threat database has for this signature. The Threat
Vault entry for the threat signature might include additional details,
including the first and last content releases to include updates
to the signature and the minimum PAN-OS version required to support
the signature. |
Description | Information about the threat that triggers
the signature. |
Severity | The threat severity level: informational,
low, medium, high, or critical. |
CVE | Publicly known security vulnerabilities
associated with the threat. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
(CVE) identifier is the most useful identifier for finding information about
unique vulnerabilities as vendor-specific IDs commonly encompass
multiple vulnerabilities. |
Bugtraq ID | The Bugtraq ID associated with the threat. |
Vendor ID | The vendor-specific identifier for a vulnerability.
For example, MS16-148 is the vendor ID for one or more Microsoft vulnerabilities
and APBSB16-39 is the vendor ID for one or more Adobe vulnerabilities. |
Reference | Research sources you can use to learn more
about the threat. |
Exempt Profiles | Security profiles that define a different
enforcement action for the threat signature than the default signature
action. The threat exception is only active when exempt profiles
are attached to a security policy rule (check if the exception is Used
in current security rule). |
Used
in current security rule | Active threat exceptions—A check mark in
this column indicates that the firewall is actively enforcing the
threat exception (the Exempt
Profiles that define the threat exception are attached to
a security policy rule). If this column is clear, the firewall
is enforcing the threat based only on the recommended default signature action. |
Exempt IP Addresses | Exempt IP addresses—You can add an IP address
on which to filter the threat exception or view existing Exempt
IP Addresses . This option enforces a threat exception
only when the associated session has either a source or destination
IP address that matches the exempt IP address. For all other sessions,
the threat is enforced based on the default signature action. |
If you’re having trouble viewing threat details, check
for the following conditions:
- The firewall Threat Prevention license is active ().DeviceLicenses
- The latest Antivirus and Threats and Applications content updates are installed.
- Threat Vault access is enabled (selectand edit theDeviceSetupManagementLogging and Reportingsetting toEnable Threat Vault Access).
- The default (or custom) Antivirus, Anti-Spyware, and Vulnerability Protection security profiles are applied to your security policy.
