Risk level indicators

There are currently two consoles within FortiView that display the Risk associated with the console: Applications and Cloud Applications. Each application pose different levels of risk to the network, represented by a colour code.

The following table identifies each risk level, from least to most severe:

Indicator	Risk	Description
	Green: Risk Level 1	These applications have little to no risk level, with no assigned risk definition. Application file-sharing may result in data leakage, which would be a typical example of a low level risk. An example application would be the Google toolbar, or Dropbox.
	Blue: Risk Level 2	These applications have an elevated risk level and typically use excessive bandwidth. High bandwidth consumption can lead to increased operational costs. An example application would be Bittorrent.
	Yellow: Risk Level 3	These applications have a low risk level and are typically evasive. Evasive applications can lead to compliance risks, and could include applications such as JustinTV and GlypeProxy.
	Orange: Risk Level 4	These applications have a high risk level, and are defined as using both excessive and evasive bandwidth. Example applications would be AutoHideIP and PandoraTV.
	Red: Risk Level 5	Applications that have a high risk level are prone to malware or vulnerabilities that can introduce business continuity risks.
