Outbreaks — Current report template
Use this report to view detected infections within an outbreak, in a three-dimensional
bar chart format.
This report defines outbreaks within a shorter time span than a week. It is designed to
show outbreaks that have occurred recently over a narrower time span than the weekly
outbreak history report. An outbreak can be defined in terms of hours. A current
outbreak is defined as occurring over a minimum number or distinct system (x) or
distinct files (y) infected within a timeframe specified in hours (z). In others words, an
outbreak is said to have occurred if x distinct systems or y distinct files have been
infected by the same virus within z hours.
Outbreak Rules

are infected:

situation to be considered an outbreak.
Minimum Files Infected — Specify the minimum number of infected files for a situation
to be considered an outbreak.
Hour Range — Specify the maximum number hours over which infections occur to be
