Periodic Reporting

Most organisations which use Network Box systems require weekly reports, giving them a clear overview of what is happening at the gateway, between the Internet and their network. However, these reports do not have to be sent out on a weekly basis, but could be sent once a month, once a week or once a day, to meet differing clients' requirements.

 A great amount of detail is included. For example:

• Number of Protection Level Updates/Direct Maintenance Jobs
• System Utilisation
  • CPU Utilisation/Disk Utilisation/Workload Summary
• Network Throughput
  • Internet/Local/VPN
  • Summary
• Network Box NOC Services
  • Threat Signature Updates
  • Activity Summary
• Firewall
  • Hacker Protection
  • Policy Enforcement
• IPS (Intrusion Protection System)
  • Hacker Protection
  • Policy Enforcement
• Incoming/Outgoing email statistics
  • Number Scanned, Malware Blocked, Spam Blocked
• Web Proxy
  • Utilisation
  • Protection
  • Policy Enforcement
• FTP
  • Protection
• Virtual Private Network
  • IPSEC Connections
  • PPTP Connections
• System Utilisation
  • Peak Time & Period

Actually, not only are very detailed current statistics shown, but comparisons against previous time-frames are included. This means that an organisation's IT management will automatically have a comprehensive "bird's eye view" of their gateway activity; and can therefore make extremely informed decisions about their IT infrastructure without requiring extensive manual investigation.
