Firewalls can protect the network both from outside invaders and from internal misuse, which can range from inadvertent access and bandwidth abuse to malicious attack.

Most firewalls have log files which record all of the data about traffic and security-related events. These log files hold a wealth of information about your firewall's operation, employee usage of the Internet and e-mail, VPN activity, security events and the bandwidth utilisation of each protocol which has a number of benefits.

Firewall Suite produces easy-to-understand reports from these log files giving in-depth analysis of incoming and outgoing activity through your firewall, VPN or proxy. It reports in three areas:

• General Firewall Activity - generates reports on bandwidth usage, potential security issues, email activity, FTP transfers, telnet sessions, and more.
  
  
• Outgoing Web Activity - reports on internal usage of the Internet through the firewall, including reports on most active users and the sites visited - helping assess employee productivity.
  
  
• Incoming Web Activity - monitors outside visits to a web site that is behind the firewall.

Features and benefits:

• Monitoring, Alerting and Recovery Gives alerts when a device goes down or stops responding.
  
  
• Proactive SecurityError messages, warnings and rules triggered by the firewall are identified along with the events, and e-mail addresses of those who triggered them.
  
  
• Exceptional ReportingProvides more than 200 customisable reports
