Summary: NordLayer’s interactive Shared Gateways map provides better visibility helping admins monitor activity, detect anomalies, and enhance network security.
Organization admins need actionable insights to manage connections, monitor device types, track failed logins, and ensure overall security.
We’re working on that.
With our latest update, we’re improving the Dashboards section in the NordLayer Control Panel. The Shared Gateways usage data chart provides admins with a new, interactive tool for deeper visibility into how their organization uses shared gateways.
Now, admins can monitor shared gateway activity, detect anomalies, and make data-driven decisions to optimize performance and security.
Feature characteristics: What to expect
With this update, the interactive Shared Gateways map is now part of the Dashboards section. It sits alongside other key graphs that display important security and usage metrics.
This new feature includes:
- An interactive map displaying shared gateway locations and usage patterns
- A usage data list showing how many users access each shared gateway
- Predefined filters for quick data views and options to refine results based on specific criteria
- Percentage-based insights comparing a gateway’s usage to other shared gateways within the same organization
Admins using Core, Lite, and Premium plans already benefit from a range of insights that enhance security and network visibility. The Dashboards provide data on Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) adoption rates, allowing admins to monitor how many users have enabled this critical security measure. It also includes a device OS distribution breakdown, helping identify potential security risks associated with unsupported operating systems.
Additionally, the Dashboards track NordLayer application versions in use, ensuring admins can detect and address outdated software that may pose vulnerabilities. Lastly, browser type analytics offer insight into how users access secured resources via the NordLayer extension, contributing to overall network security.
With the introduction of the Shared Gateways usage data chart, admins now gain a more complete picture of their organization’s network activity. This latest addition provides detailed visibility into shared gateway usage, allowing for smarter decision-making in both security and performance management.
How it works: Shared Gateway usage data in action
The Shared Gateways usage data chart is designed to be intuitive, interactive, and visually engaging, allowing admins to quickly grasp key network trends.
- The interactive map visually represents the distribution of shared gateways and their usage rates
- The percentage-based comparison ensures admins can see which gateways are most popular in relation to others
- The filtering options enable refined analysis based on location and time periods
This feature is not just about visibility—it helps detect security anomalies, such as unexpected spikes in activity to unfamiliar locations, which may indicate unauthorized access attempts. Additionally, geographic insights support performance optimization, allowing businesses to strategically plan their network infrastructure.
Why do dashboards matter?
With deeper, nearly real-time insights, admins can now make faster, smarter decisions regarding security and network management. Key benefits of the updated Dashboards with Shared Gateways usage data chart:
- Improved visibility – Monitor shared gateway usage and identify popular access points
- Enhanced security – Detect unusual access patterns that may indicate potential threats
- Regulatory compliance – Maintain audit logs for compliance with security regulations
- Optimized network performance – Use geographic insights to better manage shared gateway resources
Conclusion
With this latest Dashboards upgrade, NordLayer empowers admins with the tools they need to strengthen security, optimize resources, and gain deeper insights into shared gateway usage.
The Shared Gateways usage data chart is rolling out to all plans in March 2025.
