SSL VPN auditing

As Virtual Private Network (VPN) is much cheaper and more flexible to use than leased lines, more and more companies are establishing VPNs over public networks such as the Internet, so as to allow employees working at home or traveling on business, employees of branch offices, and partners to access the internal networks. SSL VPN is an emerging VPN technology, and has been widely used for secure remote web-based access. For example, it can allow remote users to access the corporate network securely.

The SSL VPN auditing component supports analyzing and auditing operations of SSL VPN users. It also provides realtime monitoring of online users and history records, helping you understand SSL VPN usage and the network security.

To access the SSL VPN auditing component, select the SSL VPN Auditing tab. Then, you can perform:

The comprehensive analysis function provides information of online users, online user trend, daily user statistics and device monitoring for you to understand what SSL VPN users have done during their access to the internal network. You can export and save the reports as an Excel file.

Online users

The online user statistics function displays the SSL VPN users that are currently accessing the internal network. This list presents the username, user IP address, virtual IP address, login time, online duration, operation that the user has performed, and resources the user has accessed. It also supports flexible online user query.
