WebSpy has been working closely with Cisco and the IronPort team over the past few years to develop what we believe is the most intuitive, flexible and fastest reporting solution for Cisco IronPort users.
We’ve just completed our ‘WebSpy Reporting for Cisco IronPort’ video. Although this video is aimed at the Cisco channel we’d thought we share it with the rest of the WebSpy community as it provides a great high level overview of Vantage Ultimate’s ability to, not only import and spit out reports, but to learn about an organization’s structure in order to securely deliver the right report to the right person at the right time.

Security and Threat Management solutions, such as Microsoft Forefront TMG, IronPort and Blue Coat, use predefined URL categorization to simplify blocking and filtering management. Different security vendors have different ways of categorizing websites but it generally involves referring to a gigantic, regularly updated database of millions of websites sorted into 50-100 relevant categories.
Majority of security vendors will give you a high level overview of the categories, such as Sports, Shopping, Online Community, Streaming Media, Employment and Gambling, but rarely provides intuitive ways to further investigate the traffic going to the sites within these categories. The nifty thing about WebSpy’s solutions is that, as long as categories are logged, you can use WebSpy to analyze web browsing in relation to these categories and get a much clearer overview of your organization’s web usage.

It is quite a detailed look at the key tasks involved in setting up and using WebSpy Vantage with IronPort WSA access logs, and is therefore divided into several parts. The videos take you through the following activities:
