NetScope is a network monitoring and WAN management platform designed for government organisations. It provides visibility into internet and WAN traffic at a granular level, including per-second monitoring, and supports drill-down analysis by remote site, user, application, and protocol. Key capabilities include: - **KPI Reporting:** Automatically generates reports on network key performance indicators (KPIs) per department, retaining full performance history for trend analysis and capacity planning. Alerts can be configured based on threshold values (e.g., max delay limits). - **Quality of Service (QoS):** Implements traffic shaping/packet shaping rules to reduce latency for critical applications (e.g., ERP systems) running over the Internet or WAN. - **Active Directory Integration:** Interfaces with Active Directory to enable user-level monitoring and access control, allowing restriction of application access to authorised individuals and groups. - **Unauthorized Activity Blocking:** Uses deep packet inspection (DPI) to detect and block unauthorized applications and content, including Dark Web (Tor) traffic, BitTorrent, music streaming, and other unauthorized services. - **Alerting:** Generates security and usage alerts covering downtime, inappropriate use, high delays, and bandwidth limit breaches. - **Internet Reporting:** Provides internet and application monitoring reports for environments with large numbers of remote users.
