Web Proxy

A web proxy is a server that acts as a buffer between a user and their destination on the web. Adding a web proxy allows InsightIDR to track visits to potentially malicious domains and track cloud service usage. In combination with firewall data, a web proxy can track visited URLs and pinpoint exactly which user is doing the visiting.

Configure Web Proxy

To collect web proxy events, configure the device to send syslog to the collector on a unique TCP or UDP port (above 1024).

Web Proxy Logging

Rapid7 can integrate with the following web proxy tools to generate alerts in InsightIDR and the Insight Platform:

InsightIDR also supports:

  • Fortinet FortiGate
  • Intel Security (formerly McAfee) Web Reporter
  • TrendMicro Control Manager
  • Watchguard XTM
  • Versa Networks

Check Point Web Proxy

Traditionally Check Point is a firewall event source. However, you can now collect web proxy documents based on Checkpoints URL filtering events.
