    List of Windows Event Reports

    EventLog Analyzer offers a range of reports for the Windows environment that can aid in granular monitoring and auditing of events. It also contains reports on attacks common to Windows devices. The moment an a suspicious event is detected, an alert notification will be sent via email or SMS. The following are the report groups for Windows devices.

    Windows Event Reports

    Windows Firewall Auditing

    Reports on the common attacks that can be detected by monitoring events in the Windows Firewall will be listed here.

    • Spoof Attack - A malicious entity poses as a legitimate user to compromise a system.
