        Real-Time Internet Activity Reports

        Monitoring real-time internet usage reduces the temptation for employees to misuse the internet while at work.

        It also deters bad actors from engaging in harmful online behaviour and gives your business the information it needs to spot inappropriate or unsafe internet usage.

        Increase Productivity

        Actively disengaged employees cost American businesses more than $500 billion per year in lost productivity.

        Monitoring internet usage discourages employees from wasting time and provides managers with a data-informed baseline for addressing the misuse of resources.

        Insider Threats

        Careless or malicious employees can introduce malware into the company network by visiting unsafe websites and downloading harmful programs.

        Internet monitoring and internet filtering work together to mitigate cybersecurity threats caused by unsafe internet usage.

        Safe Working Conditions

        Technology in the workplace can be inappropriately used to harass employees, leading to a hostile work environment.

        Internet access monitoring provides HR with the digital evidence they need to respond to unwanted behaviors in the workplace.

                    Internet Bandwidth Usage Reports

                    Streaming videos from Netflix can consume up to 7GB of data per hour. Users that misuse the internet in their workplace aren’t only harming their own productivity, they also strain the available bandwidth and increase network latency.

                    Reduce Latency

                    Slow internet speeds caused by bandwidth abuse reduce the effectiveness of your workforce through dropped VoIP/video conferencing connections, longer wait times to access critical resources, and internet connection loss from excessive overload on network hardware.

                    Save Money

                    Bandwidth consumption history reports allow you to strategically plan investments in upgrades to networking hardware. With bandwidth consumption insights you have the data you need to determine if upgrades are truly necessary.
