Kerio Network Monitor tracks down personal surfing at work

Kerio introduces a network monitoring tool that tracks all web and email traffic in corporate networks

Santa Clara, CA - Worried about what your employees are doing on the web during office hours? You probably should be. The charms of the Internet are difficult to resist. Recent reports estimate that 60% of all online consumer purchases occur during business hours. Everything from low cost travel arrangements to securities trading is available online. Email and instant messaging allow for much less conspicuous long distance communication than the telephone for keeping up with friends and family.

Content filtering products can be useful for blocking many types of web access, but can’t distinguish what is a valid or invalid use of a specific resource. The threat of detection discourages improper behavior, but only if you have a tool that lets you easily determine who is doing what. Enter Kerio Network Monitor.

Kerio Network Monitor displays all Internet activities on the local network in real-time. Its simple and non-technical graphic display of web pages and emails gives administrators and executives instant access to what their users are doing online at any given moment, whether checking the hockey scores or sending out sensitive information that could get into the hands of competitors. Kerio Network Monitor provides this information sorted according to user, and can create a report of visited web pages with the click of a button.

Kerio Network Monitor can also display bandwidth usage in real-time line graphs. The administrator can monitor the total bandwidth and compare it to the usage of any specific user. This helps maintain overall network stability by identifying frequent downloaders or bandwidth hogs.

"Once a company grows to more than a handful of people, it becomes easier for employees to use Internet for personal purposes," says Dusan Vitek, Director of Marketing for Kerio Technologies. "With Kerio Network Monitor, an administrator can get a detailed snapshot of each employee’s web activity and can easily view all emails sent or received. But monitoring is only part of the story. More importantly, a company needs reasonable Internet and email usage policy that clearly describes company’s perspective on this issue. And if people know they are being watched they are less likely to waste time surfing or chatting."
