Creating a Security Report

You can obtain security reports to keep yourself updated about asset security status. CFW will send security reports to you based on the time range and receiving method you configured.

This section describes how to create a security report.

Constraints

Up to 10 security reports can be created for a CFW instance.
A security report is retained for only three months. You are advised to periodically download security reports for audit.
A custom security report cannot be modified. If you need to modify a custom security report, delete it and create a new one.
