The VIPRE Endpoint EDR+MDR dashboard provides an overview of the data and information needed to know what actions to take to keep your organization safe.

Exploring the Dashboard

When you first log in to EDR+MDR, the first screen you see is the Dashboard. The Dashboard is a one-stop shop to get a quick picture of the overall security posture and health of your environment. Each highly consumable section provides insight into a particular area of VIPRE's protection.

Quarantine Status

Screenshot: Quarantine Status (16 Quarantined Threats, 4 Devices Affected)

A real-time summary of the number of threats currently in quarantine and how many different devices those threats were found on. Drill down here to delete those threats or un-quarantine any file that is verified as accidentally quarantined (a false positive). The new quarantine counts will be immediately reflected on the dashboard.

 

Devices Needing Attention

Screenshot: Devices Needing Attention (# of Outdated definitions, # of 82 disconnected devices, # of devices that need to be rebooted, and # of isolated devices)

A summary of devices that may be having trouble because they:

  • aren't getting signature updates; outdated definitions indicate potential security risk
  • aren't communicating with VIPRE Cloud (unresponsive, shut down, etc.)
  • need to be rebooted
  • are isolated by a site administrator, preventing them from sending or receiving any traffic

You will want to investigate these devices to ensure that all of your systems stay protected. As each device issue is resolved, the counts will be updated on the dashboard.

 

Detection Sources

A historical summary of discovered threats and which VIPRE engine detected them

  • Active Protection - the Active Protection engine, which includes on-access scanning and process behavior monitoring
  • Email - the email engine that scans email contents and attachments, looking for spam, phishing, and malware patterns
  • Scanned - the scanning engine that handles ad hoc or scheduled scans of your file system

Top 10 Detections by Threat

Threat Trend

  • Blue = Threats
  • Green = Scans
  • Orange = Devices with threats

Hovering your mouse over any of the data points provide specifics for that day. Clicking on a blue bar or orange line on a specific date takes you to the Threat Detection Report. Clicking on a green line on a specific date takes you to the Scan Report.
