Health alerts actively monitor the health and
performance of your platform in real time. This approach helps in identifying
issues, predicting potential problems, and implementing remediation actions to
ensure your devices function optimally. Here are some key aspects:
Monitoring Metrics: Continuously monitor various metrics from the
NGFWs, including CPU utilization, memory usage, disk space, network
throughput, and other relevant performance indicators.
Anomaly Detection: Generate alerts that dynamically adjust based on
the metric's historical value and your usage trends.
Predictive Analysis: Leverage historical data and patterns to
predict when thresholds might be exceeded or specific events may occur. This
helps forecast potential issues before they escalate.
Cloud NGFW and Prisma Access Browser Data Integration for Command Center and Activity
Insights
December 3, 2024
Supported on Strata Cloud Manager
The Command Center and Activity Insights pages now include
support for Cloud Next-Generation Firewalls and Prisma Access Browser, enhancing
visibility across your network security infrastructure. This integration allows you
to view Cloud NGFW and Prisma Access Browser data alongside existing NGFW and Prisma
Access information, providing a more comprehensive picture of your security
posture.
In the Command Center, Cloud NGFW data is incorporated into three views:
Summary, Threats, and Operational Health. This means you can now monitor traffic,
threats, URLs, and other security metrics from your Cloud NGFWs within the familiar
Command Center interface.
Prisma Access Browser visibility is now available in the Summary and
Operational Health views of the Command Center, allowing you to review the number of
Prisma Access Browser-Enabled users on your network.
The Activity Insights pages also benefit from this integration, allowing
you to analyze Cloud NGFW or Prisma Access Browser specific data alongside other
security platforms.
Domains in Activity Insights
December 12, 2024
Supported on Strata Cloud Manager
The URLs tab in Activity Insights is now Domains. The new Domains tab shows domain
activity by incorporating metrics from the Advanced DNS Security service to present
new visualizations, filters, and data summaries. This enhancement allows you to gain
deeper insights into your domain traffic patterns and potential security risks. The
Domains tab displays combined information from URL Filtering, DNS Security, Threat
logs, and Traffic logs, providing a comprehensive view of domain activity within
your network.
By leveraging Advanced DNS Security, you can better protect your network against
DNS-based attacks, identify malicious domains more effectively, and gain a better
understanding of your organization's domain traffic patterns.
