I know where to go to view alerts and notifications. &nbsp;I just want to confirm I’m reading this alert correctly. &nbsp;it looks this port scan is from external web address and the likelihood of me getting port scans to stop is zero. &nbsp;so disabling the alert is my best option, correct?

<div>
yeah, I agree. &nbsp;just confirming it’s external IP. &nbsp;not sure why someone told me it was a private IP address

<div>
Thanks man. &nbsp;It helps to confirm I'm not crazy and I'm viewing alerts correctly.

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Network security consists of the policies adopted to prevent and monitor authorized access, misuse, modification, or denial of a computer network and network-accessible resources. Network security involves the authorization of access to data in a network, and covers a variety of computer networks; conducting transactions and communications among businesses, government agencies and individuals. Networks can be private, such as within a company, and others which might be open to public access.

Network Security

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
