What is IT Security?

IT security, also known as cybersecurity, according to ISACA (Information Systems Audit and Control Association), is the set of practices and measures aimed at protecting information assets. This involves managing and controlling threats that may compromise information while it is processed, stored, or transmitted through interconnected information systems.

How to access the Security menu?

The Security menu (or Security Dashboard) allows you to quickly view all options related to the protection of your services.

To access this section, simply click on the “Security” option, located in the side menu of your SWPanel.

Security Dashboard

In this Security Dashboard, you can view key information about the protection of your services, including graphs and data on detected threats. This allows you to have a quick overview of the security status in your environment.

You can generate a report by clicking on “Request a report now”. Then, select:

Report type you wish to receive.
Email address to which the report will be sent.

Please note that the issuance of the report has a small cost associated with it.

Security Dashboard: Threats managed by Next-Generation Security

This option is available only to customers who have Next-Generation Security activated. It allows you to view a Top 10 threats list, classified by type, country of origin, severity, and total quantity.

How to activate Next-Generation Security

In your SWPanel, use the search tool to locate your Cloud.
