The Challenge: Why Accurate Reporting Is Difficult

Many businesses struggle to obtain reliable internet usage reports due to the complexity of data generated by networking equipment such as firewalls.

• What Firewalls Log: Firewalls capture communication between employee devices and external websites or applications. Each click or website visit can generate hundreds of log records for backend connections, making it difficult to piece together a coherent picture of user activity.
• Noise in the Logs: Logged data often includes activity not initiated by employees, such as background connections from software or devices, further complicating analysis.

Risks of Solutions That Fall Short

Choosing a reporting solution that cannot handle this complexity can lead to significant problems:

1. Legal Liability
   • Taking disciplinary action against employees based on faulty or incomplete reports can expose your organization to legal challenges.

   • Inaccurate reports can lead to poorly developed policies and ineffective employee training, causing wasted resources and leaving your organization vulnerable.
