WebSpy ISA Server Announcements.

WebSpy Launches Monitoring and Reporting Software For Microsoft ISA Server 2004.

WebSpy today announced support for Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2004 in all of its Internet monitoring and reporting software. ISA Server 2004 is the advanced application-layer firewall, VPN and Web cache solution that enables customers to easily maximize existing IT investments by improving network security and performance.

WebSpy adds to ISA Server 2004’s advanced protection and ease of use capabilities with the ability to accurately track and analyse how internal users are accessing various sites. By deploying ISA Server 2004 with WebSpy, companies can:

• Increase worker productivity by reducing non-work related browsing
• Decrease legal liabilities by monitoring the content of Internet and email
• Reduce excessive browsing that can impair network bandwidth
• Reduce security threats from viruses and dissemination of sensitive material by limiting access to suspect sites
• Identify patterns of positive Internet usage through tracking analysis

“Any Internet use within an organization needs to be managed for the purposes of security and efficiency. Inappropriate use of the Internet can affect employee productivity and, in some cases, lead to legal exposure,” said Jack Andrys, WebSpy CEO. “WebSpy takes advantage of ISA Server 2004’s extensible architecture to build a solution that addresses the problems associated with unmonitored Internet access.”

“Being able to monitor Internet access in real-time is a critical component in developing a proactive security capability. Combining WebSpy’s solution with ISA Server 2004 can provide users with a complete, cost-effective and easy-to-maintain internet security, connectivity, monitoring and management solution,” said Andrys.

“Customers have told us they’d like more visibility and control over how employees are accessing the Web,” said David Gardner, business development manager of the Security Business and Technology Unit at Microsoft Corp. “ISA Server 2004’s real-time logging capabilities running with WebSpy’s extensive set of monitoring and reporting tools can enable effective management of Internet resources.”

In coming months, WebSpy is planning on expanding its offerings for ISA Server to include more detailed monitoring and management of all network traffic, instead of just Internet and email. In addition to the current reporting and analysis benefits of WebSpy, organizations will soon be able to use WebSpy solutions to help enhance network performance by managing and prioritizing traffic based on the data retrieved from reports.

The WebSpy range of monitoring and reporting solutions can be purchased worldwide from an extensive distribution network or from one the three sales offices located in London, Seattle and Perth. Trial versions of the solutions are available for download at www.webspy.com.
