Catbird Networks

onShore has partnered with Catbird Networks to further expand our security and monitoring capabilities. Catbird Networks offerings fully complement onShore's existing onGuard Security and Connectivity monitoring services. With the addition of Catbird Networks External Security Monitoring, onShore can now offer network monitoring from agents which are distributed in major traffic points across the internet. This provides a detailed report on internet traffic routes from each of these distributed agents which in turn provides a detailed description of internet routing problems that may only exist within certain traffic points on the internet.

The Catbird Networks solution is elegant. There is no software or hardware to install. All monitoring is done from outside firewalls. The suite of services monitors your network every two minutes, 365 days a year, from your customers' and hackers' point of view. All monitoring information is automatically collected and made available for review via a web browser. Reports can be customized on the fly so you can prepare reports on a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly basis.

• Hijacking Monitor - Catbird Seat Hijacking Monitor monitors your site to ensure it is supported by your intended servers. The Hijacking Monitor works by taking a snapshot of all your DNS records. Catbird agents then compare the snapshots with current DNS records every 15 minutes - if they don't match, an alert is sent to your email or pager.

• Defacement Monitor - Catbird Seat Defacement Monitor is the only product that monitors your Web content for unauthorized changes. The Defacement Monitor establishes "baseline content" and compares it to your live site every 15 minutes, every day.

• Web Monitor - The Catbird Seat Web Monitor delivers the most detailed information so you can easily analyze and troubleshoot performance issues on your website. The Monitor looks at *every* element of a page - from text, URL's, graphics, and Java applets, to banner ads, CGI scripts, and third party content. By analyzing each element independently, the Web Monitor can identify bottlenecks and perform in-depth analysis and performance trending.

• Email Monitor - Catbird Seat Email Monitor ends the wondering and worrying. Designed to test your POP and SMTP servers, the Email Monitor watches your entire email system, including inbound and outbound mail and total propagation time.

• DNS Server Monitor - Catbird Seat DNS Monitor makes all of your DNS records exist, stay current, and are readily found. The result: Your domain is always recognized and accessible to customers. If DNS records are missing or modified without permission, Catbird agents immediately alert you via pager or email.

• Top Level Domain Monitor - Catbird Seat TLD Monitor makes sure the TLD record for your website is visible so that customers can find your site. The TLD Monitor verifies that TLD servers are responding with the correct reference to your domain, and watches for any incorrect updates, unauthorized changes, or other errors made to your records.

• Transaction Monitor - Catbird Seat Transaction Monitor helps you maintain high customer satisfaction by ensuring rapid, secure Web-based transactions. The Transaction Monitor measures your Web site's performance by simulating the user experience and determining how long it takes to complete a transaction - from making a purchase or performing a search query, to accessing account information. The Transaction Monitor also ensures that a transaction is not hijacked or sent to the wrong Web location.

• Secure Certificate Monitor - Catbird Seat Secure Certificate Monitor works around the clock to make sure your customers' transactions remain secure with your SSL encryption. The Secure Certificate Monitor does this by comparing your SSL certificate to the one being used for each transaction.
