Overview

The Security Dashboard in the Armor Management Portal (AMP) displays the various statuses of your virtual machines: 

• Green indicates a virtual machine in a Secured status.
• Yellow indicates a virtual machine in a Warning status. 
• Red indicates a virtual machine in a Critical status.

Virtual Machine status

The overall status of your virtual machine is based on the individual status of your virtual machine's subcomponents. Your virtual machine contains three subcomponents:

• Anti-Malware
• FIM
• Patching

Armor reviews the status of your three subcomponents and labels your virtual machine based on the status of your most critical subcomponent.

For example, if Anti-Malware and FIM are both in a Secured status, but Patching is in a Critical status, then overall, your virtual machine is labeled as Critical.

In another example, if Anti-Malware is in a Critical status, FIM is in a Warning status, and Patching is in a Secured status, then overall, your virtual machine is labeled as Critical. 

Anti-Malware status

The Anti-Malware status can change based on the following two conditions:

• The date of your last scan
• The date that Armor last received your data

Condition 1 - Date of last scan

If the last scan for Anti-Malware took place between 7 to 13 days ago, then the Anti-Malware status changes from Secured to Warning.

If the last scan for Anti-Malware took place 14 days ago or more, then the Anti-Malware status changes from Warning to Critical.

Condition 2 - Date that Armor last received your data

If Armor last received data between 24 to 48 hours ago, then the Anti-Malware status changes from Secured to Warning.

If Armor last received data over 48 hours ago, then the Anti-Malware status changes from Warning to Critical.

Armor labels the Anti-Malware status based on the worst status of the two conditions. For example, if the date of your last scan was 9 days ago, but Armor last received your data 72 hours ago, then overall, the Anti-Malware status is Critical.

FIM status

Armor determines the status of FIM based on how long FIM has been offline.

• If FIM is offline for 2 to 7 days, then the FIM status changes from Secured to Warning. 
• If FIM is offline for 8 days or more, then the FIM status changes from Warning to Critical.
