X-Force Data on the Dashboard

The Internet Threat Information Center widget on the Threat and Security Monitoring dashboard uses X-Force data to provide up-to-date advisories on security issues, daily threat assessments, security news, and threat repositories.

The dashboard widget uses an embedded RSS feed to display X-Force data in the dashboard widget. The JSA console must have access to the Internet to receive data from the X-Force update server (www.iss.net).

The dashboard uses four AlertCon threat level images to provide a visual indicator of the current threat level.
