Each report includes a graph of threats blocked over time and a table of the top blocked threats. 
Reports, which are updated hourly, can be customized to display data for the last 12 hours, 14 
days, 21 days, or 6 months. For easier viewing, SonicWALL Threat Reports reports can be 
transformed into a PDF file format with the click of a button. 
Benefits
The Threat Reports provides the latest threat protection information to keep you informed about 
potential threats being blocked by SonicWALL security appliances. If you subscribe to 
SonicWALL’s security services, including Gateway Anti-Virus, Gateway Anti-Spyware, 
Intrusion Prevention Service (IPS), and Content Filtering Service, you are automatically 
protected from the threats reported by the SonicWALL Threat Reports. SonicWALL’s security 
services include ongoing new signature updates to protect against the latest virus and spyware 
attacks. 
How Does the Threat Reports Work?
The SonicWALL Threat Reports provides global and appliance-level threat protection statistics. 
At the appliance level, threat protection data from your SonicWALL security appliance is 
displayed. At the global level, the SonicWALL Threat Reports is updated hourly from the 
SonicWALL backend server with aggregated threat protection data from globally-deployed 
SonicWALL security appliances. Data provided by the SonicWALL backend server is cached 
locally for reliable delivery.
To be protected from the threats reported in the SonicWALL Threat Reports, it is recommended 
that you purchase SonicWALL security services. For more information about SonicWALL 
security services, see

Note
The SonicWALL security appliance must have Internet connectivity (including connection to 
a DNS server) to receive the latest threat protection statistics from the SonicWALL backend 
server, which reports aggregated data from globally deployed SonicWALL security 
appliances. If you lose connectivity, cached data from the last update will display, and the 
latest data will not be available until connectivity is restored. 
SonicWALL Threat Reports Configuration Tasks
The SonicWALL Threat Reports can be configured to display global or appliance-level 
statistics, to display statistics for different time periods, and to generate a custom PDF file.
