Reporting on Internet usage patterns

Surf Check-up draws a faithful picture of how the Internet is used within your company. This checkup can be implemented within a few days to capture the following details:

• Categories of visited websites: general news, shopping, job search, adult, etc.

• Time spent on each website.

• Volume of data exchanged, and

• Many more such information.

Surf Check-up goes beyond the traditional audit report and takes the stress out of user-generated risks: Instant Messaging, web chat, and mischievous downloads from peer to peer (P2P) services are also monitored.

Downloaded applications, sometimes installed without the knowledge of administrators, can unleash viruses or Trojan horses, as they come through channels which are not protected by antivirus filters.

Surf Check-up in action

The audit features an autonomous and non-disruptive wiretap tool, which drills down through your Internet connection stats.

AXIANS collects all relevant data and then generates a report with recommendations for technical and/or organizational improvements to optimize Internet connections and make them as secure as necessary.
