Features
Centralized reporting
The Reporting Software Blade provides a large number of predefined
reports that save administrative time and cost by eliminating the need
to create custom reports. These reports are organized into easy-to-use
categories like cross-product security and network activity, firewall
security and network activity, endpoint security, and antivirus as well
as product-specific reports.
Each
report is further subdivided into sections that provide detailed
information about a particular type of traffic or activity on the
network. Also, reports can be tailored to suit the information
requirements of different users. If there is a specific need not
addressed by a predefined report, a security administrator easily can
customize a report by adjusting the report filters to capture only the
relevant data.
Automatic report distribution and database maintenance
The Reporting Software Blade enables administrators to schedule regular
reports without constant manual intervention. Multiple reporting
schedules can be maintained, making it flexible enough to meet the most
demanding reporting needs. These reports can be automatically
distributed to specific users via email or uploaded to FTP or Web sites.
Scalability and deployment flexibility
The Reporting Software Bladesupports both SmartCenter™ and Provider-1®
environments. In the Provider-1 environment, Reporting can be
configured for global reporting or reporting targeted at a specific
network segment or customer. Multiple Reporting Software Blade
deployments can be implemented to run in parallel, scaling to meet the
reporting needs of large-scale environments. The Reporting Software
Bladeoffers a variety of installation configurations for both large and
small organizations. Where performance and deployment flexibility are
key requirements, the Reporting Software Blade can be installed on a
dedicated machine. Where cost and simplicity are the primary
considerations, the Reporting Software Blade can be installed on the
same machine as the SmartCenter or Analyzer server.
Easy trending and analysis
By automating report generation, the Reporting Software Blade enables
organizations to efficiently capture security and network intelligence
on an ongoing basis. Administrators can also generate reports to be
sent to upper management for overall security performance analysis or
auditing purposes.
Regulatory compliance reports
Compliance Reports in the Reporting Software Blade enable enterprises
to report on their regulatory compliance posture. The Reporting
Software Blade’s Compliance Reports have been mapped to relevant
requirements within the PCI, SOX, HIPAA, COBIT, and ISO 27002
regulations and standards.
