Cyberoam, a leading global provider of network security
appliances has introduced a unique capability – User Threat Quotient (UTQ) – to
help IT security managers identify users posing security risks with ease. The
User Threat Quotient (UTQ) studies the web behavior of users by analyzing
massive data of allowed and denied web traffic for web categories like IP
Address, P2P, Phishing and Fraud, Porn, Spam URL, Spyware, URL Translation
Sites and more that pose security and legal risks.
UTQ helps administrator to
• Spot risky users at a glance.
• Find out malicious insiders.
• Avoid chances of human oversight in correlating data from
various logs and reports.
• Take appropriate actions like fine-tuning security
policies, security awareness training etc.
UTQ report is displayed in the form of bubble graph as well
as in a tabular format. The bubble graph is plotted between Relative Risk
Ranking and Average Threat Score, where the bubble represents the user and
bubble size represents Average Threat posed by the user. Mouse over on the
bubble displays details like Average Threat Score, Relative Risk Ranking and
Maximum Threat Score along with date.
The bubble graph area is divided into three sections where;
• Top 10% are marked as High Risk Users
• Next 40% are marked as Medium Risk Users
• Last 50% are marked as Low Risk Users.
