ObsurferPro™ is a simple to use, cost effective, Internet Monitoring solution aimed at assisting Network Administrators in the task of identifying and controlling use of valuable Internet facilities within working hours.
ObsurferPro™ will monitor and record all web sites visited and provide valuable feedback that will allow you to identify what the surfing practices of your employees really are.
ObsurferPro™ can help you to enhance employee productivity, optimize the use of your valuable network bandwidth and reduce legal liability by adding a layer of accountability into use of the Internet.
ObsurferPro™ is not intended as a method by which access to Internet sites can be physically blocked, as all too often this can interfere with legitimate use of what is a valuable resource. Instead, ObsurferPro™ is designed to enable you to monitor users surfing behavior, produce reports on Internet access trends then use rules to manage this access.
ObsurferPro™ uses a 'sniffer' engine to monitor Internet use within your organization. What this means is that, once activated, the network sniffer will silently monitor each packet on the network, determine if the packet is one in which it is interested and if so will decode the packet identifying the sender, receiver and the content.
Using this technology, ObsurferPro™ is able to identify not only what Internet sites are being accessed but also exactly what pages are being accessed and what the content of those pages is. In addition, ObsurferPro™ is operating in a totally passive mode. It will not affect the way in which your network operates but will instead allow simple and concise reports to be created that will give you instant information on which web sites are being visited, by whom, when and for how long. This information is essential and invaluable when putting in place a corporate policy on acceptable use of the Internet in the workplace.
ObsurferPro™ also includes powerful search facilities so that you can quickly and easily locate data stored within the database to identify exactly what sites your users have been accessing.
ObsurferPro™ can track use of search engines within your organization, identifying quickly and exactly keywords on which your users have been searching for. |
