Fastvue- Real Time Analytics and Alerting for Your Network
for Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway

Real Time Dashboard

When Bob from accounts calls to ask why the network is slow, our realtime dashboard will be ready with a range of live throbbing charts showing you vital statistics such as the top sites, users and applications hammering your network right now.

While you're there you can see what percentage of traffic is unproductive, who those users are and the sites they're hitting. Our dashboard will also tell you if your firewall is blocking or allowing these sites, and give you the run down on the latest malware and intrusion threats.

We'll automatically group your users into Departments by talking to Active Directory, and give you full control over what is deemed unacceptable, unproductive, acceptable or productive browsing.

Alerts

The dashboard is a great tool when you need it, but who wants to look at charts all day? Not us! That's what we've also included an alerting system to notify you when important things happen.

Perhaps you want to know when someone has been on facebook for more than 4 hours, or when someone downloads a file greater than 150 GB, or when a virus or nasty piece of malware is discovered. The Fastvue alerting system has you covered.

You can browse through all alerts using the Alerts screen, and choose to have alerts emailed to you along with all the relevant traffic details, or what we call "alert evidence".

Productivity Assessment

Are you truly being productive at work when you're looking up an exotic holiday destination? You are if you work for a travel agency! We realise that every company is different and you need control over what is deemed productive and unproductive, or acceptable and unacceptable.

Our productivity screen lets you simply drag and drop website categories such as Travel, Social Media, and Employment into Unacceptable, Unproductive, Acceptable or Productive. The real time dashboard and alert system then know exactly how to treat your organization's browsing activity.

Active Directory Integration

We talk to Active Directory about what Departments and Offices you have so that you can use them when creating alerts. The real time dashboard also displays your top downloading departments, as well as the most productive and unproductive departments.

We've also taken the liberty of presenting real usernames rather than the ugly domain\username format you've seen in most other web reports.

If you install the Fastvue Server on a machine that is a domain member, it all just works. Otherwise just enter your AD server's details on our System Settings page and you're good to go.

For Microsoft Threat Management Gateway

To keep things simple, we’ve decided to utilize the comprehensive web and firewall logs from Microsoft’s Threat Management Gateway to feed us realtime information about your network.

But our grand plan includes adding support for other gateway and edge security devices. We’re making a short list of products that are both popular and contain useful realtime logs, and we’d love to hear what you think should make our short list.
