Why Use LAN Traffic Monitoring Software?

1. Why Use LAN Traffic Monitoring Software?

The widespread application of computer networks has permeated all levels of society, bringing convenience along with security and management issues. The internet is a double-edged sword; for instance, in a company, some employees may use working hours to read news, play games, do private work, chat, leak company information, trade stocks, download movies, listen to songs, browse pornographic sites, or even look for jobs online while earning their salary from the company. Not only does this consume company resources, but it also affects efficiency, leaks secrets, and may even result in the loss of customer resources, causing distress. Using LAN Management Software, an effective management tool combined with internal corporate mechanisms, can achieve twice the results with half the effort, and has become a consensus.

Many organizations are willing to invest heavily in network and computer equipment but are reluctant to invest in application software, especially LAN Speed Limitation Software. This is inappropriate. If a high-performance network and modern office equipment are set up, but they end up wasting company manpower and finances, or even encouraging employees to do non-work-related activities during office hours, it becomes problematic, reducing work efficiency and possibly leading to greater losses. Therefore, network monitoring is very necessary.

Currently, many units have hired network administrators and built websites. However, although the equipment is well managed, the convenience brought by the equipment reduces work efficiency (employees use the network for other purposes), and customers brought by the network may become competitors' customers due to lack of employee management. Therefore, merely purchasing equipment is not enough, merely building a website is not enough, and merely managing the equipment is still insufficient. It is also necessary to monitor the content of employee network usage and manage network behavior. Especially for foreign trade enterprises, technology-intensive enterprises (such as software, engineering), and key government departments, supervising employee internet usage is particularly important. The overall goal of the network monitoring system is to effectively prevent employees from leaking information through various means on the network, achieving unified management and effective monitoring of network computers and resources. Unauthorized personnel should not be allowed to send files externally, should not use the network for inappropriate actions, and should be able to record the contents of network communications (such as the order process of foreign trade enterprises). Comprehensive management and control should be implemented over various ports and devices of computers, and strict management and control should be applied to using computers, surfing the internet, sending and receiving emails, chatting online, and playing computer games.

(1) Prevent and trace the leakage of important unit documents and confidential files;

(2) Supervise, review, restrict, and standardize network usage behaviors;

(3) Restrict resource-consuming activities such as chatting, gaming, sending external data, malicious downloads, and stock trading;

(4) Backup important network resource files (such as business emails); monitor msn chat records; supervise qq chat records and other chat behaviors and processes;
