  • The 24-Hour Business Value chart (2) displays statistics showing how your email security software has protected your network during the past 24 hours by blocking suspicious email traffic. Data includes total numbers of blocked connections and messages listed by analysis result, the numbers of false positive and missed spam results from email analysis, and the number totals for various types of messages handled by the email system.
  • The 30-Day Blocked Message Estimated Savings chart (3) provides an estimate of savings afforded by your email protection system, which can stop unwanted mail and threats (including at the connection level), protect network resources, and save an organization time and money. With the addition of the Forcepoint Email Security Hybrid Module, infected traffic is stopped before it enters the network, increasing the savings.

    Hover over the estimated savings item for the approximate cost savings from the email hybrid service and on-premises email analysis. Default value of cost per MB includes the estimated cost saving from preventing threats and unwanted mail, and the resulting bandwidth saved. Use the Options icon in the element’s title bar to set the cost savings per MB of blocked mail.

  • The 30-Day Blocked Message Value chart (4) displays metrics similar to the 24-hour value chart demonstrating email system protection for the previous 30 days. This chart illustrates the total numbers and percentages of blocked connections and messages, including false positive and missed spam results from email analysis.
