App-Scope
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.

"Firewalls must go beyond port/protocol identification to deliver visibility and control of applications—in particular those encrypted with SSL—to provide granular visibility and control over all traffic rather than a percentage of it."
