Reporter 7

Blue Coat Reporter 7 provides identity-based reporting on Web communications enabling enterprises to evaluate Web policies and manage network resources more effectively. Only Blue Coat Reporter 7 can provide the breadth and visibility of Web-based user activities on your network. This is because the ProxySG provides comprehensive policy-enabled logging to pinpoint and capture policy-defined activities by your users.

Blue Coat Reporter 7 monitors all content-level traffic that flows through the network to highlight inappropriate Web use issues, content requested (URLs, spyware installs, P2P downloads, IM, etc.), network stability, and network performance. With reporting to the individual user-level, Reporter 7 makes it easy to see who's using the Internet inappropriately, including the types of sites visited, the content downloaded, the time of day and resulting exposure to the business.

Blue Coat Systems introduces its next-generation Reporter 7, a powerful reporting tool that offers fast and easy log file importation from the ProxySG with 60+ pre-defined reports. Combined with the ProxySG and ProxyAV line of products, Reporter 7 provides the following functionality:

Policy Enabled Reports
Using the ProxySG and ProxyAV appliances, companies can enable Blue Coat policy logging. Specific events can be configured to trigger an entry into a log file. Therefore, tracking a user’s Web activities has never been easier. For example, policy-based logging can provide the following information:

• User Reports - Track web users' usage patterns, regardless of location or application. Show access summaries, blocked sites, sites accessed by category, time of day, length of time at site and more.
• Network Traffic Reports - Measure Web traffic performance, trends, errors, bandwidth impact, streaming traffic levels and more.
• Security Reports - Evaluate security risks and track user activity that is potentially dangerous including spyware, IM, and P2P usage. Quickly determine which users have accessed malicious content and report on activity into and out of the firewall.
