The M86 Security Web Filtering and Reporting Suite (WFR)
consists of the M86 Web Filter and M86 Security Reporter,
consolidated into one unit.
M86 Web Filter offers an enhanced solution for Internet
filtering on a network. The Web Filter tracks each user’s
online activity, and can be configured to block specific Web
sites or service ports, thereby protecting your organization
against lost productivity, network bandwidth issues, and
possible legal problems that can result from the misuse of
Internet resources.
Data from the Web Filter is fed into the Security Reporter
(SR), giving you the ability to interrogate massive datasets
through flexible drill-down technology, until the desired view
is obtained. This “view” can then be memorized and saved
to a user-defined report menu for repetitive, scheduled
execution and distribution. The SR also provides real time
graphical snapshots of network Internet traffic, supported by
remediation tools to manage and control user-generated
Web threats. Simply by drilling down into the easy-to-read
dashboard of gauges, you can target and halt the source of
the threat.
Using the WFR Suite, threats to your network are quickly
identified, thus arming you with the capability to take imme-
diate action to secure your network.
NOTE
: The SR application can be configured to accept logs from
a M86 Secure Web Gateway (SWG) and generate security
reports. See the M86 Secure Web Gateway User Guide at
www.m86security.com/support/Secure-Web-Gateway/Docu-
mentation.asp
for information on the SWG.
