After the malware has been analyzed, the File Protect appliance can generate alert reports based on the results of the malware analysis.

Two types of customized reports can be generated and delivered automatically on a schedule from the Reports page.

  • Alert Details

  • File Executive Summary

Reports can be produced with Concise, Normal, or Extended level of detail. When the report is generated, the File Protect appliance places a copy of the report in the data/reports directory. You can copy the report to your local machine. The report can be generated and delivered automatically through email. The reports are removed when the size of the reports directory exceeds 100 MB.
