Perimeter Monitoring
In the Reports Portal, select > > > .
The perimeters of an enterprise’s network handle a great deal of traffic, causing system administrators to face an ever-increasing need to allow fast, efficient flow of traffic while also keeping the network secure. If you pro-actively monitor the firewalls in your enterprise, you can identify problems at an early stage and prevent network attacks. Malicious users often exploit loopholes in your firewall rules, particularly any old or unused rules. Network traffic also can be vulnerable to unencrypted data.
To monitor your network’s perimeter, use the following dashboards and reports:

The table lists the Port, transport protocol, application protocol, and number of events reported by firewalls.
