User activity monitoring plays an important role in network security and bandwidth management. Monitoring and tracking end user behavior on devices, networks, and other company-owned IT resources help identify internal threats in a network. If not performed by an efficient network monitoring tool, this continuous user activity monitoring (UAM) can become cumbersome.
User activity monitoring can be performed using log analysis. Firewall logs help reveal information about infiltration attempts at the perimeter of a network, and on the nature of traffic coming in and going out of the firewall; this means security administrators can monitor user level security threats and traffic usage by optimally analysing the firewall logs. Security administrators need to also set user specific alarms by setting traffic and bandwidth triggers, this is helpful in identifying anomalous activities in the network
The goal of any user activity monitoring tool (UAM tool) should be to fetch, analyze, and filter out actionable information valuable for network security and bandwidth capacity planning. Firewall Analyzer is a smart UAM solution that helps in monitoring user activity and provides the following:
