                Forecasting with Firewall Trend Reports
                  Trend 
                    reports in Firewall Analyzer trace patterns in user behavior 
                    and network usage over time. Analysis 
                    of trend reports gives better insight into the nature 
                    of web site traffic or network traffic , and helps IT make 
                    informed decisions on capacity planning, business risk assessment, 
                    bandwidth management, traffic shaping, and network security 
                    posture.

                      Traffic 
                        trend reports show trends in traffic across the firewall 
                        on an hourly, and weekly basis. Trends 
                        in traffic generated during working hours and non-working 
                        hours, is also shown. Using these reports, you can identify 
                        peak hours, and recurring network bottlenecks quickly. |

                      Event 
                        trend reports show trends in the number of events 
                        triggered by the firewall on a historical and current 
                        basis. Event 
                        trends are especially useful in troubleshooting links, 
                        and identifying security risks. |
