1.Full Recording Capabilities against Slacking Activities

• IDR-5000 is capable of recording common Internet activities, including Web surfing (HTTP pages), email access (Web-based and email clients using SMTP, POP3, and IMAP), instant messaging (MSN, Yahoo!, Skype, ICQ, AIM, Google Talk, QQ, etc.), file transfers over FTP, and Telnet sessions. IT administrator may effortlessly spot network resource misuses when it occurs.

2.Skype Telephony Recording

• In addition to instant message recording, IDR-5000 also features Skype telephony recording. The caller and receiver’s voices are separately placed on two different channels for easy distinction between the internal (on the left channel) and external (on the right channel) Skype users.

3.Web-Based Email Analysis

• Most third-party Internet activity recorders simply capture screenshots to record the access to Web-based email, eventually winding up with a few simple search criteria, which makes locating a desired email a challenging task. In comparison, IDR-5000 parses header information from Web-based email access for search criteria, providing users with an easy search method by sender, recipient, subject, content, attachment, and more.

4.Web Filtering Mechanism

• The Web Filter employs a cloud-based URL database that has eight categories namely Anti-Social and Illegal, Pornographic and Abusive, Gaming and Gambling, Society and Commerce, Communication and Technology, Leisure, Information and Education, Other, and up to sixty-four subcategories. Website browsing now can be easily regulated by specifying simply the category instead of the URL, keyword, etc.

5.Grouping Feature for Hierarchical Management

• When it comes to hundreds of thousands of network logs, it takes more than one person to review. Consequently, hierarchical management is the ultimate solution to the issue. By assigning superiors to supervise their administrative unit using the grouping feature, the business-critical information can be prevented from unauthorized access.

6.Easy Browsing and Searching

• IDR-5000 has a user-centered design (UCD) to facilitate the operation experience for users with non-IT-expertise. Users are provided with the following features:
  ◆ UTF-8 character encoding: Displays emails in various languages, ideally suited for email correspondence among international businesses.
  ◆ Intuitive reporting interface: Offers user-friendly layout and plain descriptions making supervision an easy task for supervisors.
  ◆ Various sorting mechanisms: Presents data recordings by user, time, service, etc.
  ◆ Extensive search criteria: Assists IT administrators to easily locate the desired data recordings.
  

7.Real-Time Network Flow Analysis

• The bandwidth utilization can be obtained based on user, time and service. With the help of an exclusive slider bar, IT administrators may effortlessly pinpoint all bandwidth resource misuses.

8.Multiple Recording Bases

• The recordings can be based on:
  ◆ AD account – Seamlessly incorporates Active Directory; recordings are associated with each individual.
  ◆ Auth name – Requires users to be authenticated prior to accessing services. (An alternative when AD is not available)
  ◆ IP / MAC address – Adopted accordingly.
  

9.NAS Support for Optimal Data Storage

• Most third-party Internet activity recorders store data in a first-in, first-out (FIFO) fashion, which might result in important data being overwritten by data of less importance. In comparison, IDR-5000 makes the most of hard disk space by adjusting the storage time of each service logs based upon the importance and deleting them upon expiration.
  Besides, it also supports network-attached storage (NAS) that facilitates storage access such as searching, browsing and retrieval simply through a Web browser from anywhere. No additional software installation is required.

• IDR-5000 is perfectly adaptable for all sizes of businesses due to its no-user-number limitation and free-of-charge firmware updates.

11.TCP/IP-Based Application Blocking

• Third-party firewalls usually lack an effective scheme to regulate the use of TCP/IP-based applications. Accordingly, IDR-5000 allows IT administrators to base IM access (messaging or file transfer using MSN, Yahoo!, Skype, ICQ, AIM, Google Talk, QQ, etc.) on the company’s network policy and forbid the use of peer-to-peer software (eMule, BitTorrent, WinMX, eDonkey, Foxy, etc.).
  Apart from that, other activities like multimedia streaming, Web-based email access, online gaming, VPN tunneling, and remote controlling can also be well regulated to ensure network security.

12.Anomaly Traffic Detection

• IDR-5000 is able to proactively block packet-flooding attacks (under Bridge mode) and notify related personnel of the event at its initial stage so as to attend to it. A core switch may be incorporated to perform a co-defense against the attack by disabling the switch port containing the source of the attack, efficaciously preventing Denial-of-Service attacks.

13.Comprehensive Statistics and Diagrams

• The device not only has multilingual support (English, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese) but also provides detailed traffic statistics and graphs for network diagnosis.
