Links to Details about Risks in Symantec Mobile Security 7.2 Console
In the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM), the Risk Logs report has a hyperlink that can be clicked, opening a write-up page and letting the admin read about the threats which are being detected by endpoints on the network. (Ways they spread, vulnerabilities involved, etc). An example:

It would be useful if there were links to write-ups (where available) so that admins can know whether the malware being found in their environment is aimed at financial gain (running up phone bills with premium-rate text messages or calls), hacktools (indicating that their corporate network may be under recon by a potential attacker), spyware, etc. Knowing the nature of the threats can help the admin best prepare defences.
Note that many detected files will fall under generic, wide-ranging threat families (Android.malapp for example) - such links would still be useful.
Sample write-ups for Android threats:
