GSA - Detect Protocol Changes for Destination Ports
Description
Identifies changes in the protocol used for specific destination ports, comparing the current runtime with a learned baseline.
This can indicate potential protocol misuse or configuration changes.
Configurable Parameters:
- Learning period: The time range to establish the baseline. Default is set to 7 days.
- Run time: The time range for current analysis. Default is set to 1 day.
- Rule type
- Scheduled
- Version
- 1.0.4
- Declared status
- Available
- Query frequency
- 1h
- Query period
- 8d
- Trigger
- gt 1
