Device Statuses

Your devices are marked with colored dots so you can easily see the state of your network. Different statuses are marked with different colors.

Green—Indicates the device is protected and safe. No action is required.
Yellow—Indicates the device is vulnerable. For example, a device might be yellow if a scan has not been run in a long time, or if the device has been added within the last thirty days but has not been activated. If a device is yellow, you should take the recommended action as soon as possible.
Red—Indicates the device is in danger. For example, if a threat has been detected on the device. Take immediate action.
Grey—Indicates the device is inactive or is in the process of being activated. Decide whether to activate the device or remove it from the network.
