It's been said before but bears repeating: time is a precious commodity in cybersecurity. So when it comes to emerging threats, it's really important for analysts and cyber professionals to have access to critical information.
Outbreak Alerts are part of the FortiAnalyzer Outbreak Detection Service. It's a licensed feature and basically provides admins with access to pre-built reports and event handlers for high-profile security threats. In essence it's helping admins bridge the gap between "is this specific threat happening in the world?" and "is this specific threat happening to me?"
