Product Overview
The Security Reporter (SR) from M86 Security consists of the best in breed of M86
Professional Edition reporting software consolidated into one unit, with the capa-
bility to generate productivity reports of end user Internet activity from M86 Web
Filter and/or M86 Secure Web Gateway (SWG) appliance(s), real time reports
from a Web Filter, and security reports from an SWG.
Using a Web Filter, you have the option to use an SR 300, 500, 700 or 730 Equus
model, or an SR 705 or 735 IBM model.
Using an SWG, you have the option to use an SR 705 or 735 IBM model.
Using both a Web Filter and an SWG, you have the option to use either an SR 705
or 735 IBM model.
Logs of end user Internet activity from a Web Filter and/or SWG are fed into SR,
giving you an overall picture of end user productivity in a bar chart dashboard, and
the ability to interrogate massive datasets through flexible drill-down technology,
until the desired view is obtained. This “view” can be memorized and saved to a
user-defined report menu for repetitive, scheduled execution and distribution.
Web Filter logs provide content for dynamic, real time graphical snapshots of
network Internet traffic. Drilling down into the URL categories or bandwidth gauges
dashboard quickly identifies the source of user-generated Web threats. SWG logs
provide content for bar charts detecting security threats on the network so that
prompt action can be taken to terminate them before they become a liability on
your network.
Using the SR, threats to your network are readily targeted, thus arming you with
the capability to take immediate action to halt the source, secure your network, and
protect your organization against lost productivity, network bandwidth issues, and
possible legal problems that can result from the misuse of Internet and intranet
resources.
