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.
Application Usage report includes:
- An overview of the applications on your network, including risk, sanction status, bandwidth consumed, and the top users of these applications.
- Applications and users with the most data transfer - Examine the activity of users who share the most data viewed by amount of data transferred or number of applications used
- Applications blocked by your security policy rules. Review to see if all the high risk applications are enforced appropriately in your network.
- Top application types and subcategories on your network. Application subcategories classify applications into groups based on function; you can filter your logs based on application subcategory to dive more deeply into the date you see here.
- Most heavily used applications by users on your network - Review the high risk applications in detail under each subcategory. Users most contributing to the traffic, threats the applications are exposed to, and statistics of WildFire submissions.
- Applications that use non-standard ports - Monitor the traffic from these applications that are transferring data through non-standard ports. Refine the security policy rules for these applications to prevent threats from entering your network. You have the search option to filter users who are using the application and click View Logs to view traffic sessions related to the application.
- Unsanctioned applications that are transferring the most amount of data and the users using those unsanctioned applications. Review the traffic log and see if you need to modify the enforcement by security policy rule to reduce the risk.
