Find details about detected network intrusions, including affected gateways, triggered profiles, attack classifications, impacted services, severity, rule content, CVSS scores, and CVEs.


Network intrusion refers to any unauthorized activity on your network. Note that this table does not include the built-in rules to the IDS/IPS engine or any affiliated information from these rules; these rules are designated for detection only; the remainder of the IDS/IPS rules are configured to protect and perform actions based on the varying levels of intrusion or attack.

The Network Intrusion page displays the following:

  • Gateway Names - the names of the affected gateways that processed the malicious source.

  • Profile Names - the names of the security profiles triggered by the malicious source.

  • IPS Policy - the policy within Multicloud Defense triggered by the event or attack.

  • IPS Class - the type of attack as determined by the database of attack signatures traffic is compared against.

  • IPS Category - the IPS signature category triggered by the event or attack.

  • Rule ID - the rule ID as documented internally within Multicloud Defense that was triggered by the event or attack.

  • Services Impacted - the type of web service affected by the event or attack.

  • Impact - the severity level of impact, known or assumed, by the event or attack.

  • Message - the contents of the event that has been identified as an attack.

  • Rule Content - content of the rule triggered by the event or attack.

  • CVSS Score - Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is a framework that assigns a numerical score to the severity of an information security vulnerability. CVSS scores range from 0 to 10, with 10 being the most severe.

  • CVEs - Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) is a glossary that classifies vulnerabilities. If there is a CVE associated with the type of attack or event, the internal library automatically generates its value here.

  • References - If publicly available, this link directs you to the original announcement and categorization of the CVE.
