Instance of a Report that monitor Top 10 Traffic from “DMZ” area to “Internal/Client” Zone.
4) Off-hour Malware Detection.
Instance of IPS signals on non-working time (Holiday).
Educates that take place outdoors conventional solution running hrs (at night or on weekend breaks) could suggest a threatened host.
