PaloAlto networks

Whereas Application Command Center (ACC) gives an administrator a view into current network activity, App-Scope is a set of visualization tools that provides a comparative view of application activity (now vs a past timeframe). A standard feature of both Panorama and the device web-interface, App-Scope helps reduce the amount of time an administrator needs to investigate unusual behavior by answering some very common questions:

• How has application usage and user activity changed on the network?
• Which users and apps are consuming the most bandwidth?
• Which threats are consistently on the network?
• Where is traffic and threats coming from and going to?

App-Scope is a dynamic, user-customizable window into activity, presenting the information in a comparative manner enabling visibility into unusual or unexpected behavior. Armed with multiple views into their application traffic, administrators can quickly create or modify security polices. The visualization tools in App-Scope can be modified using the drop down menus to provide comparative statistics based upon different time frames, applications, application categories, threat profile and more.
