More and more large businesses are geographically dispersed, yettry to reduce operating costs by centrally managing core IT securityfunctions such as access control, gateway security and policycompliance. Webwasher Content Reporter allows these organizations toreport on a wide variety of popular security gateway devices such asCyberGuard Firewalls, Network Appliance NetCache products, CiscoContent Engines and others. Content Reporter's unique ability toautomatically detect, collect and process log files makes it aninvaluable tool for even very large organizations.

"One significant challenge in the area of security and compliancereporting is the plethora of data that is generated by trafficmonitoring applications," said Pat Clawson, CEO of CyberGuard. "Dataspanning multiple time zones is a particular headache from a reportingperspective. Webwasher Content Reporter Version 4.6 eliminates thisproblem by giving the system administrator full control over how thesedata are treated from a time zone perspective," continued Clawson.This ability to "normalize" time zone information makes the process ofanalyzing and reporting on dozens of gigabytes of global data fareasier for system administrators in centralized data centers.

In addition to simplified reporting, Content Reporter Version 4.6adds support for the most popular Linux distributions and allowsContent Reporter deployments on Unix and Linux to use Microsoft SQLServer installations as back-end repositories for logging andreporting data, thereby significantly reducing the time and investmentneeded to deploy an enterprise wide reporting solution.
