Scalable and Distributed

SuperScout works in arrays or distributed across the enterprise to match your network topology. By installing a SuperScout Agent on each domain controller, all NT users can be monitored across the enterprise. As users log in and out of the domain controller, the Agents record these events to the SuperScout database and this information is then used to monitor Internet activity by NT username.

Multiple SuperScout agents are controlled by a single Rules Administrator that handles enforcement, updates content lists, and runs reports from a single database.
