SMB is the Microsoft Windows File Sharing protocol, also known as Server Message Block. This event specifically looks for activity emanating from your network toward SMB servers on the Internet.
What to Look For
Brute force attacks launched from your network may be an indication that your network is compromised. Investigate hosts that are the source of this sort of activity in order to make sure that it is authorized and expected, and the hosts have not been compromised.
