Introduction
Spector 360 2010 adds the following features.
New administrative capabilities:
Centralized Event
Alerts
From the Control Center or Dashboard, you now can define rules to detect
data from any recorded user activity that matches conditions you specify.
As soon as Event Alert conditions are met, an "alert" is recorded.
Email notification can also be sent to the appropriate supervisor for
immediate response.
Your company may be interested in:
Who sends large email attachments?
To which domain or network location are large files uploaded?
Who off-loads data (from confidential folders) to a removable drive?
Which of these activities occur during, or outside of, business hours?
Updated Control
Center Application
The all new Control Center offers automatic deployment and easy updating
of the Spector 360 Recorder across your network. By adding Spector 360
Database management to the same "toolbox" as Server and Client
Recorder management, the new Control Center facilitates one-stop, point-and-click
administration of your Spector 360 installation.
Access Control
by "Tool"
Spector 360 users now can be limited by "tool" (such as Reports,
Quick View, Web Filtering, or Database Management) in addition to event
type and user. For example, a network administrator can be restricted
from viewing sensitive user activity in the Dashboard, while a department
supervisor can be restricted from tampering with centralized management
functions.
Profile-based Recorder
Settings
Assign recording "profiles" to sets of computers, and then
update "Record" settings by simply changing the profile.
Powerful Control
Center Server
Behind the Control Center application, a single, back-end service (the
CCS) has capability to automatically add new computers entering the network
and install and update the Recorder software and configuration.
See the Spector 360 Administrator's Guide for additional information.
Event Alert Reporting
Alert charts and reports show results from your new, customized Event
Alert profiles. Navigate from summary charts to event details; discover
what may have contributed to an alert event.
Group-aware Reporting
Charts, reports, and grids now can draw data from Dashboard "groups"
of users, computers, domains, or programs - in addition to individuals
- allowing you to "zoom out" to a more generalized perspective.
Which departments or locations have problems? Instead of viewing top programs
used, view top groups of programs: Are they work-related or recreational?
Are expensive tools not being used enough?
Web Event Reporting
by Category
Web Filtering domain categories now are available for Dashboard views
of Internet usage. Rather than viewing data from individual domains recorded,
choose a category (such as "Shopping" or "Adult Sites")
that includes dozens or hundreds of domains. There's no setup work to
it - Spector 360 provides extensive, predefined domain categories for
you.
The Spector 360 Recorder now supports:
Native 64-bit systems
Each Recorder installation automatically detects 64-bit and 32-bit
systems, and installs and configures itself accordingly.
Lotus Notes recording
The Recorder now includes support for capturing Lotus Notes email messaging.
Support for Terminal Services and
Citrix Published Applications
Organizations using Windows Terminal Services (Microsoft Remote Desktop)
or Citrix can install the Spector 360 Recorder on the central server.
In addition to recording activity in Desktop published mode, the Recorder
will now capture activity from individual published applications at all
workstations
Post form data
The post form method of communication (commonly used for blogging)
between a browser and web server, plus the data posted, is now fully captured
and viewable in the Dashboard's Web Sites Visited events.
Keystroke review
of posted data
Actual keystrokes are captured for side-by-side display with post form
web events, revealing the complete blog session context - even when data
is encrypted on upload.
Time and Date Stamps on Screen Snapshots
When you export Screen Snapshots to graphic files, an optional date
and time stamp clearly identifies when the snapshot was taken. Simply
send the graphic file to any external agency or attorney who requires
time-stamped, visual review.
Web Filtering Database
Periodic updates to Web Filtering domain categories can be automatically
downloaded to your Spector 360 WFS Database. Each download adds categories
and/or URLs to enhance Web Filtering coverage of the latest problem sites.
Recorder Software
Updates
Spector 360 now allows (optional) automatic installation and updates
of Recorder software. It's possible to instruct Spector 360 to automatically
install the latest Recorder on every new computer that joins the network.
See the Spector 360 Administrator's Guide for additional information.
Massively Scalable Communication:
New communication technology used by Spector 360 components allows for massive scalability of your Spector 360 installation, limited only by server machine resources. A single installation can support thousands of client computer licenses.
