"Technical reports clearly identify system checks, locations and areas, how many times things escape, which firewall is affected, and source IDs."
"The solution allows for a lot of customization."
"Many of my clients are financial institutions that transmit files from around the country across a VPN.

"The solution could embed monitoring."
"The solution should include the ability to customize reports so that customers receive greater value and high level reporting."
