The submission logs include details about a given sample, including the following information:
- The Verdict column indicates whether the sample is benign, malicious, phishing, or grayware.
- The Action column indicates whether the firewall allowed or blocked the sample.
- The Severity column indicates how much of a threat a sample poses to an organization using the following values: critical, high, medium, low, and informational.
  The values for the following severity levels are determined by a combination of verdict and action values.
  Low—Grayware samples with the action set to allow.
  High—Malicious samples with the action set to allow.
  Informational:
  Benign samples with the action set to allow.
  Samples with any verdict with the action set to block.
