Immediate IT ROI, Reduced Costs

Congruity Inspector delivers business intelligence about how the network is used and performs and its impact on the bottom line. Inspector logs all traffic and communications directly from the network, not from individual devices, presenting an objective end-to-end picture of operations.  Everything is automated and requires little skill or effort to operate. Every detail is viewable via a centralized Web-based report console, enabling operators or executives to see system status and user metrics from anywhere on the network. Ubiquitous on-demand information yields instant productivity improvements, lower overhead and reduced operating costs. It's simply a better management reporting process.

Immediate Cost Savings

The Value of Full Accounting
No network device, such as a firewall, proxy or Web filter, can tell you what it missed. Control equipment is designed to stop specific traffic and allow approved traffic through. They are not designed to log every communication which is where problems arise related to access control, misuse or content leakage. Congruity Inspector tracks every packet in and out for every device providing a full, accurate accounting for security, compliance and user productivity purposes. If a user needs to know "what's happening," Inspector presents an objective account of network operations and the business processes that depend on it.

The Value of Content Visibility
Everything on a network is communications. Congruity Inspector performs content analysis using an integrated 20,000 word dictionary to profile communications and content associated with Web pages, Email and file attachments (including social security and credit card numbers). Users can create custom dictionaries of words relevant to their business. Using Inspector'sfull content indexing, users can identify data leaks or policy violations associated with specific user behavior.  It also identifies offensive content, SPAM, and confidential files moving in and out the network.

Cost Center Visibility: Technology and People

• On-line user productivity: detailed metrics about use, misuse, abuse
  
• Business relevance of on-line activity and communications
• What is the network used for?
  
• How does it contribute to the bottom line?
  
• What's the ROI?
• Inspector helps answer these questions
  
• Offensive content downloaded, uploaded, received or sent
• Specific company' content based on custom dictionary
  
• Internal control (security) status and effectiveness
• Compliance status, regulatory obligations (HIPAA, GLBA, CIPA, FISMA)
  
• Service levels, response times, bandwidth use
  
• Standardized IT change control process
• Operational Penetration test (shows who uses network)

• In poor economic conditions useful for monitoring/aligning on-line use
• Mergers & acquisitions to benchmark IT operations and on-line employee social networking
• Maximizing IT and employee productivity
• Network discovery for device inventory, performance trends and Top N user activities
• Troubleshooting outbreak or helpdesk root causes and determining extent of breach
• Objective technology justification
  

Automatically Generated Compliance Report Examples:

• Firewall/Perimeter Report
  Includes penetration test, log of all open ports and associated attempts/actual communication activity. 
  
Report Example
• Web Use Report
  Details all Web-based activity (HTTP, HTTPS, RTSP etc.), user profiles, resource consumption and on-line productivity metrics. Independently verifies Web filter effectiveness. Most Web filters utilize URL lists to block undesireable sites. Leading vendors track approximately 35,000,000 different Web sites, which is suitable to contain most issues and user accidents. By comparison, there are over 124 Billion indexed Web pages which yields Web filtering coverage of .0002%.  Inspector provides visibility to achieve maximum benefit from on-line resources.
