Monitoring and reporting network activity is an invaluable layer of security that Lightspeed Firewall delivers. Lightspeed Firewall includes detailed real-time and recorded stats that tell you the status of your network at any moment, as well as trends over days or weeks. Reports may be viewed from anywhere with a web browser and include the following:

• Firewall events
• Intrusion log
• Network activity by individual or group
• Network activity by IP address or range of addresses
• Network activity by type of traffic
• and much more

Rights for viewing site-relevant reports may be given to appropriate administrators and staff.

Beyond the Basics
The following screen captures represent a sample of the kinds of network activity that Lightspeed Firewall monitors and reports.

Users by Internal IP Address displays inbound and outbound traffic by Username, Hostname (machine name), and IP Address. This report is the place to begin when you are trying to discover who is doing what on your network. A search function helps you quickly find entries for a particular user and link to more detailed reports.

Internet Search Engine Queries are tracked by user, date, and time to reveal any attempt to access dangerous or inappropriate material.

Applications Inventory lists the number of instances of each application, including patches and upgrades such as Windows hotfixes, that are installed on networked PCs.
