Take Control of Your Internet Connection

Internet content and applications have become indispensible, mission- critical tools for nearly every organization.

So how can you take full advantage of everything our connected world has to offer—without all the dangers, distractions, and delays?

Reveal:

Gain Total Visibility into Your Content, Applications, and Users

Network Composer brings perfect visibility and control to a chaotic and freewheeling Internet environment. With Network Composer, you can see exactly how your students or employees are using the Internet, carefully monitor and control the performance of critical Internet applications, set smart, policy-based limits and priorities, and run detailed reports to identify and resolve problems quickly. Together, these capabilities give you the power to reveal exactly how everyone in your organization is using the Internet—and provide complete control over the online content and applications your organization depends on.

Application Visibility
Monitor application traffic to determine bandwidth requirements and set appropriate priorities and limits.

Internet Usage Visibility
Know exactly how users are using the Internet, set appropriate policies and restrictions, and automatically enforce those restrictions.

Detailed Reporting
Gain total visibility and enhance your ability to identify and fix problems with detailed reports on user activity, application traffic, potential Internet threats, and much more.

Network Composer offers you total visibility with detailed reports and real-time traffic monitoring.

Optimize:

Make the Most of Your Bandwidth

You can’t afford to turn bandwidth usage into a free for all—where You Tube competes with critical applications and a few bandwidth hogs are allowed to monopolize your connection. Network Composer gives you the ability to precisely define and control how much bandwidth is available for different types of content and applications. Even better, it allows you to carefully prioritize and dynamically scale bandwidth, so people can still access less important content when Internet traffic is light. This intelligent, fine-grained control translates directly into better performance—without imposing crude and heavy-handed “allow or deny” restrictions.

Bandwidth Shaping and Prioritization
Place precise limits on the amount of bandwidth available to specific users, groups, or applications.

Content Shaping and Prioritization
Set limits or prioritize bandwidth based on specific URLs, domain names, content categories, MIME types, and file types.

With Network Composer, you can create rules that limit the amount of bandwidth available for less important contentand reserve bandwidth for mission-critical applications.

Protect:

Keep Your Organization Safe from Hackers and Malware

It’s nearly impossible to keep up with the ever-increasing volume and sophistication of hackers, malware, and dangerous content living on the Internet. With Network Composer, you won’t have to thanks to its security capabilities that automatically monitor and protect your network from today’s most sophisticated Internet threats.

Content Filtering
Automatically detect and protect your network from dangerous information—and make sure users can access the content they need—with multi-layer filtering. This includes real-time dynamic URL categorization, URL database matching, URL keyword search, and SafeSearch search engine enforcement.

Secure Traffic Filtering
Monitor, analyze, and filter HTTPS traffic to eliminate threats hidden inside encrypted content.
