    thumbs up to above comment by AravindKM!

    once the risk is identified, the source and other information is known, this included in risk report and passed on to SEPM. This I believe should hardly in KB and might reach MB's if there are lot many malwares/threat,

    Hello,

    Risk Tracer uses almost the same amount of Bandwidth which usually a transfer of normal Logs take from the SEP clients to SEPM server.

    As rightly pinpointed by Pete above, that the transfer rate would depend on how many malware / threat you carry on the network.

    For more information, see the Symantec Technical Support knowledge base article, What is Risk Tracer?

    Risk Tracer has the following prerequisites:

    • Risk Tracer requires that Network Threat Protection is enabled.

    See Running commands on the client computer from the console.

    • Risk Tracer requires that Windows File and Printer Sharing is turned on.

    Hope that helps!!

    Hi,

    Agree with ArvindKM, thumbs up to his advice.

    Risk Tracer identifies the source of network share-based virus infections on your client computers.

    When Auto-Protect detects an infection, it sends information to Rtvscan, the main
    Symantec Endpoint Protection service. Rtvscan determines if the infection
    originated locally or remotely.
     
    If the infection came from a remote computer, Rtvscan can do the following
    actions:
    ■ Look up and record the computer's NetBIOS computer name and its IP address.
    ■ Look up and record who was logged on to the computer at delivery time.
    ■ Display the information in the Risk properties dialog box.
