Audit & Forensics Overview

Comprehensive Security Visibility Enables Proactive Threat Management​

SafeSquid's Audit & Forensics framework provides enterprise-grade visibility into web traffic patterns, security events, and user activities through comprehensive logging, real-time monitoring, and forensic analysis capabilities. The system captures detailed transaction data, security incidents, performance metrics, and behavioral patterns to enable proactive threat detection, compliance reporting, and security incident investigation. This comprehensive visibility ensures organizations maintain complete awareness of web security posture while supporting regulatory compliance and forensic analysis requirements.

Real-Time Security Monitoring Replaces Reactive Incident Response​

Traditional security approaches rely on reactive incident response and limited visibility into network activities, creating blind spots that attackers exploit for persistent access and data exfiltration. SafeSquid's Audit & Forensics engine provides real-time monitoring of security events, performance anomalies, and behavioral patterns to enable proactive threat detection and rapid incident response. This monitoring capability ensures security teams maintain continuous awareness of network activities while supporting rapid threat containment and forensic investigation.

Comprehensive Reporting and Analytics​

Reporting Module: [Reporting Module](01-Reporting Module.md)​

Organizations require detailed visibility into web traffic patterns, user activities, and security events to support compliance reporting, security analysis, and operational decision-making. Reporting Module enables SafeSquid to generate comprehensive reports covering user activities, website access patterns, security incidents, bandwidth utilization, and policy violations through customizable dashboards and detailed analytics. This reporting capability provides actionable intelligence for security teams while supporting regulatory compliance and operational optimization. Access the Reporting Module through SafeSquid's dashboard interface to generate comprehensive traffic and security analytics.

Security Event Logging and Analysis​

Security Logs: [Security Logs](02-Security Logs.md)​

Security teams need detailed logs of security events, policy violations, and threat activities to support incident investigation, compliance auditing, and forensic analysis. Security Logs enable SafeSquid to capture comprehensive security event data including blocked requests, policy violations, authentication failures, and threat detection activities through structured logging and real-time monitoring. This logging capability ensures complete audit trails for security events while supporting forensic investigation and compliance requirements. Configure security logging in SafeSquid's logging settings to enable comprehensive security event capture and analysis.

Performance Monitoring and Analysis​

Performance Plot: [Performance Plot](03-Performance Plot.md)​

Organizations need visibility into system performance metrics, bandwidth utilization, and resource consumption to optimize web security infrastructure and identify performance bottlenecks. Performance Plot enables SafeSquid to generate detailed performance analytics including bandwidth usage, response times, connection counts, and system resource utilization through graphical representations and trend analysis. This monitoring capability provides insights into system performance while supporting capacity planning and optimization efforts. Access performance plots through SafeSquid's monitoring interface to analyze system performance and identify optimization opportunities.

System Health Monitoring​

Monit: Monit​

Enterprise environments require continuous monitoring of system health, service availability, and resource utilization to ensure reliable web security operations and rapid issue detection. Monit enables SafeSquid to monitor system processes, resource usage, service availability, and performance metrics through automated health checks and alerting mechanisms. This monitoring capability ensures system reliability while supporting proactive maintenance and rapid issue resolution. Configure Monit monitoring in SafeSquid's system settings to enable comprehensive health monitoring and automated alerting.

Forensic Analysis and Investigation​

Directory Structure: [Directory Structure](05-Directory Structure.md)​

Security teams require organized access to log files, configuration data, and forensic artifacts to support incident investigation, compliance auditing, and system analysis. Directory Structure provides comprehensive documentation of SafeSquid's file organization including log locations, configuration directories, data storage paths, and forensic artifact locations through structured documentation and access guidelines. This organizational framework ensures efficient access to forensic data while supporting systematic investigation and analysis procedures. Reference the Directory Structure documentation to locate and access forensic data for security investigations and compliance audits.
