Security Reporting Center

Security Reporting Center - Firewall Reporting

 
     
 
 
 

Overview

 

Marshal Security Reporting Center (SRC) provides anytime, anywhere access to firewall, VPN and proxy server reports.

 

Your firewalls protect your network and the information housed within it from both internal and external attacks. But they also collect a wealth of information stored in their log files—information such as where hacker attacks originate, which employees send the most email, how much bandwidth your organization uses and which employees are accessing inappropriate websites. Marshal Security Reporting Center analyzes the data in your firewall log files to generate valuable reports. It also helps you optimize the security of your network, ensure that employees use network and Internet privileges appropriately and manage network bandwidth requirements.

 

Solutions for Today

 

As your organization evolves to meet business and security challenges, Security Reporting Center delivers a reliable solution that grows with you. Security Reporting Center supports today's common operating environments and Internet browsers. As you require more horsepower to handle more firewalls or increased firewall activity, this solution scales easily to reflect increasing demands. And because Security Reporting Center is browser-based, any authorized user can access analysis and reporting features anytime and anywhere.

 

Benefits

 

Optimizes system and network resource utilization

  • Delivers detailed reports such as bandwidth by user, protocol or department, allowing you to understand your organization's network bandwidth requirements. Bandwidth reports help you identify usage peaks so you can plan for future needs and determine optimal times for maintenance and repair.

Ensures appropriate system and network usage by employees

  • Lets you monitor use of commonly abused services, such as web browsing and email. For example, reports show which users spend the most time on the web and which sites they visit most frequently. They also identify which employees are viewing (and perhaps downloading to your network) inappropriate or illegal content.

Promotes better security

  • Provides advance warning of vulnerabilities or holes in firewall rules and reports on critical violations and conditions of your firewalls. With Security Reporting Center, you can take proactive measures to protect your networked assets.

Reduces management costs of heterogeneous firewalls

  • Centralizes reporting and security events from more than 40 firewalls and proxy servers into a single console, cutting costs and resource requirements for firewall maintenance.

Delivers critical information about your firewalls

  • Gives you deeper insight into what's happening around your firewall with more than 200 easy-to-interpret tables and graphs. You can use a calendar interface to access summary-level reports and can drill down for more detail.
