Analysis
In-Depth view of your traffic, including mitigation statistics and top threat sources
What is this report for…
This report provides an in-depth view of your mitigated and unmitigated traffic. The report shows an overview of how much has been mitigated, traffic patterns over time, a breakdown of the sources of threats and the effect of mitigation actions. Sources of threat traffic is split out in IPs, Data Centers, Countries, User Agents and Categories. You can also get information on which of these dimensions your traffic is being mitigated on, and also get stats on Captcha efficacy.
The data in this report is on a more granular level than that within the Threats Overview dashboard, and thus gives you a more detailed view on specific activity. With most datasets you can look at up to 7 days at one time.
You are able to filter on any data point within the report to drill down into areas of interest, and you can search on any of these dimensions should you wish to get further details on a specific org, IP, UA etc.
Any of these dimensions can be also selected to view a more detailed threat report via the More Info function.

Click on the Report
As an alternative to looking up a known data point, you can also directly interact with the report. By clicking on the values you want to see, this will automatically add the value to your Control, to filter on. This is not limited to a single value but could, as in the below example, include traffic from a particular DC and a particular country.
Any dimension that is viewable in the portal can be filtered on, to get more information on the specific traffic patterns, traffic levels and behaviours observed.
More Info
If additional information is required, then users have the option of right-clicking on any of the plots to go through to the 'More Info' section of the portal.
This will open a new tab within your browser, where you can see more details about traffic coming from a particular country, DC, UA and so on. All of these plots are expandable and exportable, allowing you to conduct your analysis in as much detail as is required.
