Web Proxy Servers
Web proxy servers maintain log files listing every request, from outgoing traffic, made to the proxy server.
WebSpy transform the raw data in these requests and provides transparent information on aspects such as: who is accessing external sites, what sites are being accessed, when the sites were accessed, how much time was spent on the sites, how the user navigates through the sites, what page or search phrase referred the user to the sites, and the type and size of data downloaded from the sites.
WebSpy’s ability to translate web proxy server log file data into manageable information will enable organizations to:
