ISA Report with Firewall Analyzer

Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) server is a software security solution developed in 2001 that was developed to replace a MS proxy server to protect your network from network security threats.

Microsoft ISA servers provide protection to your network by analyzing and restricting the unwanted network traffic passing through it. This is also used to identify and restrict malicious users from accessing your network. To do this effectively, all the logs generated by this firewall have to be analyzed. But with so much data to evaluate, it is challenging to obtain the needed insights. This is where you need an efficient Microsoft ISA reporting and analysis tool like ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer.

What is ISA report?

By analyzing Microsoft ISA log files, Firewall Analyzer generates exclusive reports that provide detailed insights into your network activity, security statistics, in addition to recommendations on how to configure your firewall to improve its performance and security.

These reports include in-depth analysis of your network traffic, bandwidth usage, user activity. The data provided also extends to individual events such as failed login attempts, attacks mounted protocols, etc.
