Risks dashboard

Use the Risks tab of the Status > Dashboard page to monitor permitted and blocked requests for URLs in the Security Risk class. By default, the following charts are displayed:

  • 30-Day Risk Trends shows blocked request trends for specific security and legal liability categories over a 30-day period that includes today. When you click a spark line:
    • For security-related categories (like Malicious), the Threats dashboard is displayed to allow further investigation.
    • For other categories (like Adult), an investigative report with more detailed information is displayed.
  • Clients with Security Risks shows which computers have accessed Security Risk sites. You may want to check these machines to make sure they are not infected with any viruses or spyware.
  • Top Security Risk Categories shows which Security Risk categories have received the most requests to help you determine whether your current policies are providing the right protection for your network.
  • Risk Classes shows how many requests to each risk class have been permitted and blocked (see Risk classes) to help you evaluate whether the current policies are effective.
  • Top Uncategorized shows which URLs not categorized by the Forcepoint URL Database have been accessed most. Go to Filter Components > Edit Categories to assign a URL to a category.
  • (Forcepoint Web Security only) Analytics: Security Risks shows how many requests were assigned to new categories by Content Gateway analysis because the content had been changed or the site was compromised.
