Configure impact flag alerts

Configuring impact flag alerting allows you to receive notifications when intrusion events with specific impact flags are detected in your network. Impact flags help you assess the impact an intrusion has on your network by correlating intrusion data, network discovery data, and vulnerability information. Firewall Management Center provides options to select alert responses for different impact types, and you can customize which impact flags will trigger alerts.
