Blue Coat Reporter To Now Offer Role-Based Visibility Into Web Activity

Blue Coat Systems has announced immediate availability of Blue Coat Reporter 9.0 to provide enterprises with customisable, role-based visibility into Web-related user activity. Reporter is an intuitive reporting tool that enables businesses to collect, correlate and analyse Web activity that is managed and logged by Blue Coat ProxySG and ProxyAV appliances, Blue Coat WebFilter and Blue Coat ProxyClient mobile software.

To provide real-time visibility into Web-related user activity, Reporter can be configured to continuously upload logs. Reporter highlights Web activity information through a combination of common, pre-defined reports as well as customisable reports that enable administrators to view captured user behaviour, security and operational information. With these reports, businesses can track malware and other spyware, traffic profiles, sessions, users and authentication, Web content and technical profiles.

“As business has come to rely upon the Web, understanding where and how people are using the Internet is critical to ensuring policy compliance and effective use of corporate resources,” said Carrie Oakes, vice president of product management at Blue Coat Systems. “With real-time visibility into Web-related user activity and flexible, customised reports, the Reporter platform is a tool that helps enterprises understand Web usage patterns and more tightly align network investments with business requirements.”

Availability

Reporter 9.0 is now available in three versions. The Standard version supports 50 million log lines. The Enterprise version supports 2.5 billion log lines and the Premium version supports more than 10 billion log lines.
