Detailed WTA reports review your current web traffic trends and bring to light content, productivity, legal and networking risks associated with employees using the Internet from the workplace.
A company can be at risk when they neglect to keep "good" employees from doing "bad" things on the Internet. The WTA service leverages the Blue Coat ProxySG appliance installed non-invasively into your network for one week.

Why Perform an Assessment? A corporate network is not an island for information and communication. By necessity, enterprise networks are connected to the outside world. Threats continue to surface from inside and outside the network. The problem is compounded when employees install rogue or unsanctioned web applications without the company's knowledge. It's time for the administrator to take back control of the network. The first step is to understand what web-based traffic is deployed on the corporate network. The WTA provides:
Visibility and Control - A realistic view of ALL web traffic provides a baseline for understanding and mitigating security risks. Learn about user activities with web-based applications including spyware, file transfers and rogue application use. Tangible results are provided by the WTA in one week with no product expense to the customer.
Instant Messaging Use - Instant Messaging (IM) provides more than text chatting as users can also transfer files and communicate with voice and video. The presence of IM on the desktop provides an exciting experience for users making it a favourite web-based application. Learn about AOL, MSN and Yahoo! IM use on your network with the WTA assessment.
Peer-2-Peer File Sharing - All Internet content that employees read, send and receive carries a risk. P2P file sharing is unique as it has little, to no business value as users transfer copyrighted music and video files. P2P is port agile and common defences like firewalls do not stop its use.
Web Content Filtering & Scanning - Harassing content is only the beginning for this topic as new viruses and worms seek the path of least resistance into your network through web content. Add in web-mail that runs outside your protected mail server and the doors are open. Understand what user activities can harm your network.
Performance - An assessment will highlight how our "scan once, and serve many" architecture can benefit your network resources. Blue Coat's high performance caching, combined with security filtering and scanning options for web traffic, provides an all in one appliance solution with the best price / performance.
