For example: 

  • What other content or information would you like to see in the screensaver?
  • Are there other features or functionality that would make it more useful?
  • Any additional OS support you'd like to have?

The data is being cached

The data is being cached anyway. Can this be made available to the user in an XLSX or maybe even csv format ?....Just for circulation within the team.

I wish we could see the spam

I wish we could see the spam counts generated from the top countries and continents.

Bekir - Thanks - we are

Bekir -

Thanks - we are considering how to incorporate spam and phishing stats into the next version of the screensaver.

Best,

My thoughts

Another nice idea would be to have a way to tie this to our own environment and pull real time stats of attacks going on in our environment as well.  would love to be able to have my help desk able to see that at a glance on a monitor on the wall in their room.    I know that would probably be a tall order to do but would be a nice thing to have someday.

More Ideas

I would love a graphical breakdown of hot regions for viruses and maybe a scrolling bar across the bottom displaying the top 10 virus threat trends.

Suggestions

  • Symantec Endpoint Manager integration: I'd love to also be able to see MY network's statistics in there, compared to other areas
     
  • Dual Monitor support: ie., two different maps on either monitor
     
  • More frequent updating: like, once an hour, at least
     
  • Proxy support
     
  • Latest security news: from government cybersecurity or Symantec RSS feeds

For the sake of "saving" the screens make sure that none of the graphics stays in place for the entire slide show.

And some of these are already in place, but this is the data I want to see on screen:
- Top threats per region
- Top Spam domains, areas
- Latest vulnerabilities
- Latest fixes or virus that is included in the virus defs
- Histograph (maybe risk level or spam level)

Or just make a different one that can be integrated with the SEPM servers in a company and just get the realtime data like virus alerts and other notifications. Could be a slide show of the favorite reports.

With regards to proxy support, maybe make the SEPM server the proxy so that there won't be any necessary changes to be made on the firewall.
