The importance of analysis
Analyzing your protection allows you to determine which kind of threats you are facing, from
where, how often they are found, and which systems are being targeted. For example, if one
system is being continuously attacked, maybe that system should be moved to a more secure
part of your network and have increased security enabled to protect it.
This analysis is also helpful when:
• Creating reports for IT and managers.
• Capturing information used to create scripts and queries.
• Monitoring network access time and VirusScan Enterprise update network usage.
Analyzing protection examples
You can use the steps in these analysis examples as a framework for analyzing most VirusScan
Enterprise protection scenarios.
These examples describe seeing a spike of malware attacks and determining:
• Where and when the attacks occurred
• What malware was used in the attack
• How the attack affected the system
