Community Highlights

Here are the threads to watch from the last week:

New How-To Videos

What Happens When A License Expires?

We had a couple threads asking about this:

GAIA API Version 1.2 is Now Available

Adds some new features.

It depends, check the discussion for details.

IPS Signature Does Not Match with Attack Type

Some attacks use older methods to gain entry, and we have signatures to block those.

Fake news, as ransomware simulators don't necessarily act the same way as real ransomware does.

Botnet Activity Detection

How it works.

If a gateway can't resolve a particular DNS name, it can definitely cause "odd behavior."

Command to Show History of ClusterXL Member Status

Querying the cpview database directly.
