Threat rating is a quantitative measure of your network’s threat level after IPS mitigation. The formula for threat rating is:
Threat Rating = Risk Rating – Alert Rating
The values of the alert ratings are listed below.
45: deny-attacker-inline
40: deny-attacker-victim-pair-inline
40: deny-attacker-service-pair-inline
35: deny-connection-inline
35: deny-packet-inline
35: modify-packet-inline
20: request-block-host

20: request-block-connection
20: reset-tcp-connection
20: request-rate-limit
For example, if an alert had a risk rating of 100 and the IPS mitigates the event with a deny- attacker-inlineaction, the threat rating would be calculated as:
Threat Rating = Risk Rating – Alert Rating, or 100 – 45 = 55.
Threat rating brings the value of risk rating to a new level. By taking the IPS mitigation action into account, threat rating helps you further focus on the most
important threats that have not been mitigated.
