How to detect a port scan in SEPM?
SEPM Console > Monitors > Logs > Network Threat Protection > Attacks Locate the first log entry for the Port Scan detection and highlight it. Look at the details to determine the remote IP and local ports associated with the detection, taking note if they are UDP or TCP.

Look at the details to determine the remote IP and local ports associated with the detection, taking note if they are UDP or TCP.
Why does my firewall keep scanning my ports?
Since there are 65535 distinct and usable port numbers for the TCP and UDP Internet protocols, the ports are scanned at very short intervals. If the firewall detects an unusually large number of attempts to connect to services, especially if these attempts come from the same source address, the firewall is most likely being port scanned.
What are the responses of a port scanner?
The three types of responses are below: Open, Accepted: The computer responds and asks if there is anything it can do for you. Closed, Not Listening: The computer responds that “This port is currently in use and unavailable at this time.” Filtered, Dropped, Blocked: The computer doesn’t even bother to respond.
What happens when you send a port scan with a fin flag?
When you send a port scan with a packet and the FIN flag, you send the packet and not expecting a response. If you do get an RST, you can assume that the port is closed. If you get nothing back, that indicates the port is open.
What are the different types of port scanning?
Types of TCP Scans. As previously mentioned, TCP and UDP are frequently the protocols used in port scanning. There are several methods of performing TCP scans: SYN scans, the most common form of TCP scanning, involve establishing a half-open connection to the target port by sending a SYN packet and evaluating the response.
