Viewing Web Content Discovery Users

The Users tab in the Web Content Discovery report provides a comprehensive view of the web content activity associated with specific users on an organization’s network. This page displays details about the traffic, such as the user name, device name, total number of categories, and number of requests. The data can be sorted to show the web content associated with a particular user. This information can then be used to identify potential threats and take the necessary steps to protect the network from potential attacks. The  page can also be used to identify user activities and ensure that only authorized users are accessing the web content.
