Customer Web Portal

Bright House Networks Managed Security includes access to our Customer Web Portal.  This portal provides tools and reports to help you manage your network security.  There are four primary functions including:

 

  • Network Status - provides a snapshot of the health of your network

  • Notifications - allows you to be automatically informed of events or receive automated reports

  • Reports - provides a variety of real-time, on-demand reports to help you understand the activity on your network

  • Customer Support - provides a complete reporting and tracking tool for all correspondence with our security team

Network Status

Every five minutes our monitoring system contacts every firewall for every customer.  If we are unable to get a response, an alarm event is automatically generated.  An on-call person is paged and they have 15 minutes to respond to the outage or the system automatically escalates to additional personnel.  The network status pages allow you to see the total up time and historical events associated with your connection.  When first logging into the system, you have an immediate view of your current network status.

Notifications

The system can automatically send you emails for a variety of events including: alarms (for outages), alerts and logs from firewall activity and automated reports such as websites blocked by content filtering.  Any device that receives an email can receive a notification.  So for example, if you want to receive a text message on your cell phone if your network is down, it's easy to set up.

Customer Support

You can call our toll-free number or log-on for technical support.  Every request is documented in our system and and all events are date and time stamped.  If you go on-line to request support, once you click on "submit", the information is automatically routed to support personnel.  Our staff is ready to take your requests Monday through Friday during normal business hours, however, if you need assistance after hours, you can submit an emergency request or leave a message at the prompt on our support line and someone will be automatically paged.

Reports

The portal provides a variety of different reports designed to help you identify activity on your network.  The reporting system keeps the most recent 30 days of activity on-line and is available anywhere you have access to the Internet.  Some of the available reports include:

 

Top Web Sites - This report shows you which sites are visited most by users on your network.  As with most reports, you can drill them down further to see which IP addresses are visiting which sites.
