FortiAnalyzer features Introduction
FortiAnalyzer features
The FortiAnalyzer unit receives log files from multiple FortiGate and syslog
devices. Using the FortiAnalyzer unit’s robust reporting capabilities, you can
monitor the traffic, attacks, and misuses from network users. The FortiAnalyzer
unit includes the following features:
Reporting
The FortiAnalyzer reporting includes:
• Log analysis and reporting
Analyze logs submitted from multiple devices and generate a variety of reports
that enables you to proactively secure networks as threats arise, avoid network
abuses, manage bandwidth requirements, monitor Web site visits, and ensure
appropriate usage of the network. Analysis includes by firewall and by user or
group of users.
• Vulnerability reports
Vulnerability reports show potential weaknesses to attacks that may exist for a
selected device. The FortiAnalyzer unit queries for open ports, and where
possible, gathers information about the running services. Known vulnerabilities
that exist for a service or version of the service is included in the report.
Data mining
The FortiAnalyzer unit provides data mining features that enables you to easily
access simple reports to obtain information on the intrusion attempts on your
network as well as the types of traffic occurring on your network. Security event
summaries provide a snapshot of what unwanted traffic is attempting to breach
the firewall and the top traffic producers on the network, while traffic summaries
provide a snapshot of the traffic passing through the firewall on your network.
These reports can help you identify the high volume users, or attack events that
may be slowing down overall network traffic.
Network analyzer
The FortiAnalyzer network analyzer enables you to reach areas of the network
where FortiGate firewalls are not employed, or if you do not have a FortiGate unit
as a firewall. The FortiAnalyzer network analyzer functions as a sniffer to capture
traffic data, save it to the FortiAnalyzer hard disk, and display it or generate
reports using the data.
