NetAuditor greatly reduces the overall cost of ownership as compared to competitive solutions. In head-to-head comparisons, NetAuditor demonstrated a 97% reduction in data storage requirements.

Visibility and Control of Your Network

HTTP, FTP, IM, P2P, SIP phones, etc… for many IT professionals, terms like these spell "headache". Not only are IT managers responsible for providing reliable Internet connectivity for these protocols and technologies, but many require that organizations trail and record their usage. Increasingly, inappropriate or unmonitored Internet usage can expose organizations to a number of costly risks, including network security breaches, reduced network service levels, diminished employee productivity, adverse publicity and even legal liability.

Designed to help organizations comply with regulatory mandates and minimize Internet usage risks, NetAuditor can be used with many leading firewall and proxy servers to provide alerts and documentation on suspicious or problematic network traffic. NetAuditor provides comprehensive summary and detail audit reports for web, FTP, peer-to-peer, instant messaging and other types of Internet traffic traveling through your network, enabling IT managers to regain control and visibility across the network.

Regulatory Compliance

Today government and industry regulations increasingly mandate the implementation and use of audits for Internet activity as part of a larger strategy to help protect sensitive information and individual rights. North American legislative examples include the Sarbanes-Oxley and Gramm-Leach-Bliley Acts, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA), SEC Rule 17a-4, NASD Rules 3010 and 3110 and others. For organizations that must comply with these mandates, Internet auditing isn't a choice - it's the law.

NetAuditor simplifies compliance with these mandates, usability features as well as low cost of ownership means that regulatory compliance doesn't have to be a burden on your staff or your budget.

Legal Exposure

Abusive non-business related Internet usage can severely impact organizational productivity, but worse when employees use your network to access illegal or copy righted materials such as music, movies, pornography, hate content or gambling, they expose your organization to legal liabilities and potentially negative publicity.

Employee Productivity

NetAuditor provides fast, accurate summary and detail reporting for web, P2P, IM and many other traffic types. Leveraging the patent-pending NetSpective Adaptive Filtering^™ URL categorization system, NetAuditor profiles traffic in more than 60 content categories, including:
