Risk level indicators
There are currently two consoles within FortiView that display the Risk associated with the console: Applications and Cloud Applications. Each application pose different levels of risk to the network, represented by a colour code.
The following table identifies each risk level, from least to most severe:
| Indicator | Risk | Description |
|
|
Green: |
These applications have little to no risk level, with no assigned risk defin- |
| Risk Level 1 | ition. Application file-sharing may result in data leakage, which would be a
typical example of a low level risk. |
|
|
An example application would be the Google toolbar, or Dropbox. |
||
|
|
Blue: |
These applications have an elevated risk level and typically use excessive |
| Risk Level 2 | bandwidth. High bandwidth consumption can lead to increased operational
costs. |
|
|
An example application would be Bittorrent. |
||
|
|
Yellow: |
These applications have a low risk level and are typically evasive. |
| Risk Level 3 |
Evasive applications can lead to compliance risks, and could include applic- |
|
| ations such as JustinTV and GlypeProxy. | ||
|
|
Orange: |
These applications have a high risk level, and are defined as using both |
| Risk Level 4 | excessive and evasive bandwidth. | |
|
Example applications would be AutoHideIP and PandoraTV. |
||
|
|
Red: |
Applications that have a high risk level are prone to malware or vul- |
| Risk Level 5 | nerabilities that can introduce business continuity risks. |
