Why Reporting is Critical?
Today’s organisations depend on the Internet more than ever, whether for research, e-commerce transactions, speedy communications or all three. But the Internet can deliver increasingly sophisticated threats as well. Some of these threats are external, from spyware, malware and phishing and some are internal, through employee abuse or negligence.
You may have written a solid and binding Acceptable Use Policy AUP or Security Policy but how can you know if your users are abiding by the policies? Then there is the very real and dangerous threat of customer data exposure or the loss of company intellectual property, which can occur via Internet protocols.
These varied and emerging threats are why you acquired an Internet filtering solution in the first place. The ability to protect your organisation by enforcing your policies and securing your sensitive and proprietary data is also dependent on strong and accurate reporting.

Tabular Views Mean Drill-Down Efficiency
The iPrism reporting package is the only solution that offers tabular reporting views as you drill down. This means that you can create a report, drill-down to a different view, and access your previous view via tabs along the top of the screen.
This unique feature gives you the maximum flexibility to explore your data dynamically, without running multiple reports or losing unsaved reports. It also allows you to quickly compare data between multiple reports.
Real-Time Monitoring (RTM)
With this features you can monitor your traffic on-demand, whether HTTP, IM or P2P. And you can configure RTM to monitor all or per-user traffic or only those critical events occurring outside of your acceptable use policy or security policies.
In those cases, RTM becomes an important diagnostic tool, helping you determine where security holes have opened and where policy violations are occurring.
