Log Types: ISAFWSLog

Overview

Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway, formerly known as Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server (ISA), is a network router, firewall, antivirus program, VPN server and web cache from Microsoft Corporation. It runs on Windows Server and works by inspecting all network traffic that passes through it.

The FWS logs are generated by the packet inspection/filtering component.

Collection

The Snare Epilog agent can collect and forward ISA / Forefront log data.
