Incidents: NGFW

Learn how to manage incidents and alerts across NGFWs.
Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
To help you maintain the ongoing health of your devices and avoid incidents that disrupt your business, your applications generate incidents and alerts based on one or more issues that it has detected with your firewall deployment. With Incidents & AlertsNGFW, you get a singular view of your incidents and alerts across NGFWs.
Here’s how to get up and running with NGFW Incidents & Alerts:
  • Incidents keep you informed about vulnerabilities. You can investigate them and take preventive actions if necessary.
    Navigate to Incidents & AlertsNGFWAll Incidents to view incidents across your network, and interact with them.
  • An alert indicates a specific problem (degradation or loss of firewall functionality) that needs to be addressed. Alerts can also be generated based on correlation or aggregation across multiple events. This aggregation of events into a single alert helps triage, streamline alert hand-off between teams, centralize critical information, and reduce notification fatigue.
    Navigate to Incidents & AlertsNGFWAll Alerts to view alerts across your network, and interact with them.
  • To define notification preferences, such as which alerts trigger notifications, how you receive notifications, and how often you receive them, create a notification rule.
    Navigate to Incidents & AlertsIncident & Alert SettingsNotification Rules to view and add rules to trigger notifications.
  • Strata Cloud Manager generates alerts and incidents that dynamically adjust based on the metric’s historical value and your usage trends. You can adjust this setting to control the sensitivity level of the anomaly detection algorithm.
    Navigate to Incidents & AlertsIncident & Alert SettingsAnomaly Sensitivity to configure the sensitivity level of the anomaly detection algorithm.
