About the Malvertising Dashboard

The Malvertising Overview dashboard lets you quickly review recent attacks and threats that Malvertising Defense has protected your pages from. This helps you monitor your performance as well as track attack trends on your pages from one place. You can also download a copy of a report for your own uses.

Dashboard metrics

Page views protected

Page views protected shows the number of page views monitored by HUMAN for malvertising over a specified period of time. Pageviews are measured by the initial execution of the script when it is loaded on the page.This does not represent the number of attacks that were prevented, but rather the volume of requests HUMAN monitored over time. This helps you ensure HUMAN is performing as expected and quickly spot if there were unusual spikes or dips in activity.

Attacks prevented

Attacks prevented shows the number of malvertising attacks HUMAN prevented over time. This is useful for tracking general attack volume over time as well as quickly finding unusual spikes in attacks, which may indicate a targeted campaign against your organization.

Threat level

Threat level shows your calculated threat level over time. HUMAN calculates your threat level as the number of malvertising attacks ÷ the total number of page views over time. This is useful for tracking the general attack trends to your organization over time.

Attacks by site

Attacks by site shows the distribution of malvertising attacks across all of your selected sites or applications over time. This is useful for understanding which of your sites or applications are typically under threat and spot if any particular site had unusual malvertising activity.

Location metrics

The Location tab’s metrics shows page views and threat levels by country, and further breaks these down by site or application. This is useful for understanding where your attacks generally come from as well as spot unusual activity from countries you rarely see.

Threat details metrics

The Threat details tab shows the top 10 most common SSPs HUMAN detected in your malvertising attacks. You can view the distribution of these SSPs in total, their activity over time, and which sites each SSP was active on.

Device data metrics

The Device data tab shows device information for malvertising attacks over the time period, including information such as device type or browser. This is useful for tracking patterns or device profiles for common attacks on your site or application.
