Internet User Behavior Management Service by Cloud Computing Technology Offered Jointly by eDataNet and Decision Group
Introduction :
For most of enterprise accounts in the market, the issue for internal Internet access by employees usually brings benefits as well as damages. Accessing Internet conveniently will increase productivity of employee in terms of fast information collection and better communication with both customers and suppliers. On the other hand, Internet is also the major reason of data leakage and employee distraction from job. How to prevent the disadvantage and increase productivity is the prime expectation of senior management in most enterprises.
Internet user behavior management is not a brand new idea. Senior management already uses log files from network management system or active directory for that purpose in lots of enterprises. Unfortunately, reports from these systems, which are not designed for such purpose, usually reveal not so many clues about employee behavior in the working hours nor specify which event is abnormal. So, years after years, situation is still the same there since the internal network infrastructure grows more complicated with business development.
The digital forensic technology, recently, is a new way for Internet user behavior management. It collects all data packets, inbound or outbound, at the router side from network, and parses and classifies these packets, reconstructs those packets back to original contents, and stores in database and into file system. The basic theory is just like the below figure :
