Businesses today rely increasingly on the Internet to communicate with customers, partners and telecommuters, while performing everyday tasks that keep business and information flowing. To monitor these critical resources, IT administrators need a comprehensive view of network events and activities - such as network usage, attacks and threats, and employee Internet use - to enhance security and manage bandwidth needs.
A Web-based graphical reporting tool, SonicWALL ViewPoint provides unprecedented security awareness and control over your network environment through detailed and comprehensive reports of your network and firewall activities. ViewPoint's broad reporting capabilities allow your administrators to easily monitor network access and Internet usage, enhance security, assess risks, understand more about employee Internet use and productivity, and accurately predict future bandwidth needs.
ViewPoint creates dynamic, real-time and historical network summaries, providing a flexible, 360º view of network events and activities. Reports are based on "syslog" data streams received from each SonicWALL firewall through the wired LAN, wireless LAN, WAN or VPN tunnel. With ViewPoint, your organization can generate individual or aggregate reports about virtually any aspect of appliance activity, including individual user or group usage patterns, events on specific appliances or groups of appliances, types and times of attacks, resource consumption and constraints, and more. An integral part of any deployment, SonicWALL ViewPoint delivers the comprehensive view of network and firewall activities your organization needs to enhance security and manage critical resources today and tomorrow.
