Web Monitoring, Reporting and Filtering Without Compromise!
M86 Professional Edition sits outside the flow of network traffic, executing passive observation and approval/denial of outbound Web requests.
This “pass-by” methodology results in unmatched network compatibility, performance and fail-safe confidence. Anchored by a broad and deep URL database organized into 100+ categories identifying millions of Web sites, the 8e6 Professional Edition has been ranked among the most accurate Web security solutions for the last 10 years.
Reporting with the M86Professional Edition is a completely different experience than reporting with other Web filtering products. Designed and dedicated to meet “real time” expectations, the suite’s reporting appliance processes granular data queries—down to the user and specific Web page—at speeds that deliver fast results and retrieve archive data in a fraction of the time than other products require. Additionally, the 8e6 Professional Edition is designed with today’s business, education and government archival requirements in mind. Should additional data retention be required, M86 Security provides clients with custom NAS configurations.
Finally, the M86Professional Edition Web monitoring solution fills the gap between detection and action. By setting customised thresholds, administrators can “watch” outbound Web traffic 24/7; automatically receiving alerts to AUP violations, bandwidth threats and other suspect Web activity. It can even shut down user access if needed—in real time.
