Suspicious Activity Rules SolutionSuspicious Activity Rules is a utility integrated into
SmartView Monitor that is used to modify access privileges upon detection of any suspicious network activity (for example, several attempts to gain unauthorized access).
The detection of suspicious activity is based on the creation of Suspicious Activity rules.
Suspicious Activity rules are Firewall rules that enable the system administrator to instantly block suspicious connections that are not restricted by the currently enforced security policy. These rules, once set (usually with an expiration date), can be applied immediately without the need to perform an Install Policy operation

Explanation
The most typical status is Communicating. Any other status indicates that the SIC communication is
problematic. For example, if the SIC status is Unknown then there is no connection between the Gateway and
the Security Management server. If the SIC status is Not Communicating, the Security Management server is
able to contact the gateway, but SIC communication cannot be established.
