About WebSpy’s Vantage 2.0 Platform


WebSpy’s winning entry, Vantage 2.0, allows analysis against any type of network device, enabling clients to import log files that their web server, security device, firewall, cache device, event logs and mail/messaging server generates.  Vantage 2.0 provides powerful, yet easy to use, drill down analysis capabilities with an extensive choice of meaningful reports, enabling organizations to de-mystify the raw and often highly complex data found in security and internet devices and presents the user with meaningful management information. The comprehensive information provided by Vantage 2.0 can assist in identifying Internet and email misuse, identifying and resolving network problems, identifying download issues, preserving bandwidth and minimizing litigation risks.

Vantage Giga 2.0 also comes with an additional Web Module (currently in Beta trials) that allows companies to securely distribute and share information at any chosen level to ensure that protecting their IT environment is not just the responsibility of the security team but potentially the whole organization. Its on-demand capabilities can enable even individual employees to conduct their own ad-hoc analysis to view their productive and non-productive activity thus helping to drive responsible behavior. Access to information is controlled through customizable permission levels, ensuring employee and company privacy.
