Security Events

Two types of cyber threat activities will show under security events: Malicious Network Attack (TMIS Agent blocks network attacks that exploit vulnerabilities in devices), and Web Threat Detection (Trend Micro Smart Protection Network helps detect and block connections associated with high-risk websites or IP addresses).

Alert Settings

Users can set up the alert channels and alert types they would like to receive via email, LINE, or Webhook (for other applications). An Abnormal Protection Status alert will be sent when a problem causes the feature to stop running, or when the Edge Security Protection toggle switch has been turned off. A Security Events alert will be sent out when suspicious activities have been detected or blocked (e.g. Web Threat Detection). Security Event alerts can be “Triggered” and “Acknowledged,” but cannot be “Resolved,” please see below for details.

Alerts can then be organized into three different states in the Alert Tab: Triggered → Acknowledged → Resolved to help users closely monitor their edge devices.
