Outbreak Alerts
The FortiGuard labs will constantly monitor for potential security vulnerabilities and will designate certain CVEs as outbreak alerts if they are being widely exploited. All the outbreak alerts for the top 5 scanned assets can be viewed in the Dashboard > Outbreak Alerts page and asset specific outbreak alerts can be viewed in the Summary and Vulnerabilites pages.
