outbreak was detected by the Threat Operations Center and the release of an anti-virus signature by a 
major vendor. Note that not every global outbreak affects your appliance. A value of “--” indicates either 
a protection time does not exist, or the signature times were not available from the anti-virus vendors 
(some vendors may not report signature times). This does not indicate a protection time of zero, rather 
it means that the information required to calculate the protection time is not available.
The Quarantined Messages section summarizes Outbreak Filters quarantining, and is a useful gauge of 
how many potential threat messages Outbreak Filters are catching. Quarantined messages are counted at 
time of release. Typically, messages will be quarantined before anti-virus and anti-spam rules are 
available. When released, they will be scanned by the anti-virus and anti-spam software and determined 
to be positive or clean. Because of the dynamic nature of Outbreak tracking, the rule under which a 
message is quarantined (and even the associated outbreak) may change while the message is in the 
quarantine. Counting the messages at the time of release (rather than the time of entry into the 
quarantine) avoids the confusion of having counts that increase and decrease.
The Threat Details listing displays information about specific outbreaks, including the threat category 
(virus, scam, or phishing), threat name, a description of the threat, and the number of messages 
identified. For virus outbreaks, the Past Year Virus Outbreaks include the Outbreak name and ID, time 
and date a virus outbreak was first seen globally, the protection time provided by Outbreak filters, and 
the number of quarantined messages. You can select either global or local outbreaks as well as the 
number of messages to display via the menu on the left. You can sort the listing by clicking on the 
column headers.
The First Seen Globally time is determined by the Threat Operations Center, based on data from 
SenderBase, the world’s largest email and web traffic monitoring network. The Protection Time is based 
on the difference between when each threat was detected by the Threat Operations Center and the release 
of an anti-virus signature by a major vendor.
A value of “--” indicates either a protection time does not exist, or the signature times were not available 
from the anti-virus vendors (some vendors may not report signature times). This does not indicate a 
protection time of zero. Rather, it means that the information required to calculate the protection time is 
not available.
Using the Outbreak Filters page, you can answer questions like:
How many messages are being quarantined and what type of threats were they?
How much lead time has the Outbreak Filter feature been providing for virus outbreaks?
How do my local virus outbreaks compare to the global outbreaks?
