@aziz_paloalto, Don't judge your actual risk factor by what the calculated risk factor is displayed as, that just has you worrying about potentially nothing. The default risk factor of applications will have that go up depending on what app-ids are being identified, however if you have a proper security rulebase configuration that locks everything down to sanctioned apps then I wouldn't be to worried about it. Most applications will bring you close to a Risk cateogry of 4. App-ids such as ssl, youtube-base, web-browsing, google-base, facebook-video, facebook-base, apple-appstore, and many others are all Risk 4 app-ids. You can edit these if you simply want to tell management that your risk level has gone down, but really that number doesn't actually mean much of anything unless you've taken the time to fine-tune your different rulebases, created custom app-ids, lowered the Risk of known sanctioned applications that have inherint risks associated with them and so on. Otherwise I would kind of expect this to be anywhere from 3-4 depending on the type of network traffic that you are processing.
