The exhibit shows a screenshot of a Malwarebytes alert that indicates that a website was blocked due to compromise. The alert contains the following information:

• The type of protection: Web Protection
• The website that was blocked: 10.254.1.21
• The port that was used: 80
• The process that initiated the connection: C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
• The IP address of the device that initiated the connection: 10.1.26.151

The IP address of the device that initiated the connection is the one that should be recorded as a possibly compromised client, as it indicates that the device tried to access a malicious website that could infect it with malware or steal its data. In this case, the IP address of the possibly compromised client is 10.1.26.151.

Alert duration and threshold settings are used to control how often and under what conditions email notifications are sent for gateway IDS/IPS events 1. By adjusting these settings, the customer can reduce the frequency of repeat email notifications for the same threat, while still being informed of any critical or new threats.

To adjust the alert duration and threshold settings in Aruba Central, the customer can follow these steps 1:

• In the Aruba Central app, set the filter to Global, a group, or a device.
• Under Analyze, click Alerts & Events.
• Click the Config icon to open the Alert Severities & Notifications page.
• Select the Gateway IDS/IPS tab to view the alert categories and severities for gateway IDS/IPS events.
• Click on an alert category to expand it and view the alert duration and threshold settings for each severity level.
• Enter a value in minutes for the alert duration. This is the time period during which the alert is active and email notifications are sent.
• Enter a value for the alert threshold. This is the number of times the alert must be triggered within the alert duration before an email notification is sent.
• Click Save.

By increasing the alert duration and/or threshold values, the customer can reduce the number of email notifications for recurring threats, as they will only be sent when the threshold is reached within the duration. For example, if the customer sets the alert duration to 60 minutes and the alert threshold to 10 for a Critical severity level, then an email notification will only be sent if the same threat occurs 10 times or more within an hour.

The Fail Strategy is a configuration option for the IPS mode of inspection on Aruba gateways. It defines the action to be taken when the IPS engine crashes and cannot inspect the traffic. There are two possible options for the Fail Strategy: Bypass and Block1

If you set the Fail Strategy to Bypass, you are telling the gateway to allow the traffic to flow without inspection when the IPS engine fails. This option ensures that there is no disruption in the network connectivity, but it also exposes the network to potential threats that are not detected or prevented by the IPS engine1

If you set the Fail Strategy to Block, you are telling the gateway to stop the traffic flow until the IPS engine resumes inspection. This option ensures that there is no compromise in the network security, but it also causes a loss of network connectivity for the duration of the IPS engine failure1
