About risk insight

The objective of the Risk Insight feature is to notify you about the vulnerabilities that might impact the recoverability or continuity of your protected assets.

Risk Insight detects the changes to the state and configuration of your protected assets. It identifies if there is a risk to the recoverability or continuity of your protected assets.

Veritas Resiliency Platform also enables you to set up the replication lag threshold or service level threshold. Risk insight alerts you when the replication lags beyond the threshold that you specified.

Risk insight generates two types of reports:
