Configuration reports enable you to report on various aspects regarding SecureSphere configuration, and can be generated to display data on SecureSphere agents currently configured and operating in the network, and overall Site configuration, security or audit policy configuration. This can assist in obtaining a general overview of configuration such as existing agents and their status, a list of IPs and ports being protected by the site and their relevant gateway groups, and more.
