# Cyfin

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/555922/Cyfin

> Most teams discover how noisy firewall logs are the first time someone asks a simple question: what was this employee actually doing online? The raw logs hold the answer, but it's buried under thousands of automated entries (software updates, certificate checks, background app traffic, auto-refreshing pages) that have nothing to do with human activity. Pulling a clear answer out of that mess usually falls to IT and eats hours.

Cyfin solves this by reading the logs your firewall already generates and converting them into accurate, human-only web use reports. It identifies and strips out non-human traffic, so what remains reflects what a person genuinely did: the sites they visited, when, and for how long, down to the individual URL. No more inflated visit counts, no more guessing which entries are real.

The payoff is independence for the people who need the answers. HR, compliance officers, and managers can run their own reports and investigations directly, in a format built for non-technical readers, instead of filing a request and waiting on IT to interpret log exports. That means faster acceptable-use policy enforcement, cleaner workplace investigations, and audit-ready documentation for regulatory requirements.

Cyfin is agentless by design. Because it works entirely from existing firewall logs, there is nothing to install on employee devices and no per-endpoint software to license or maintain. It integrates with the firewalls organizations already run, including Palo Alto, Cisco, Fortinet, and others, so deployment is fast and adding coverage doesn't add agent overhead. Interactive dashboards let users move from a high-level overview down to a specific person, group, or site in a few clicks.

Organizations choose Cyfin when accuracy matters: when a policy decision, an HR investigation, or a compliance audit depends on knowing exactly what happened rather than a rough approximation. It's used across regulated and security-conscious sectors, including government, education, healthcare, and financial services.

Wavecrest Computing has specialized in web use monitoring, reporting, and content filtering for more than 30 years, giving organizations dependable, precise answers about how their people use the internet. Managers gain reliable insight, IT sheds a stream of repetitive reporting requests, and HR gets the ability to investigate on its own terms.

## About the vendor

- **Company**: Wavecrest Computing
- **Founded**: 1996

## Commercial Context

- **Starting Price**: US$900.00
- **Pricing model**: Per User (Free Trial)
- **Pricing Details**: Cyfin is licensed as an annual subscription, priced by the number of users in your organization. Pricing starts at $900 per year for up to 25 users and scales through a series of tiers as your user count grows, so the cost stays proportional to the size of your deployment. Because the tiers are based on user count rather than data volume, servers, or endpoints, most buyers can estimate where they will land from their headcount alone.
Every subscription includes the full Cyfin reporting product: noise-free, human-only web use reporting, interactive dashboards, and URL-level detail across users and groups. There are no per-endpoint or per-seat agent fees, because Cyfin reads logs from your existing firewall (Palo Alto, Cisco, Fortinet, and others) rather than installing software on user machines. That keeps both the cost and the deployment effort low, and it means expanding coverage does not add agent licensing.

The subscription model reflects how the product works. Cyfin's accuracy depends on its web categorization and classification database, which Wavecrest maintains and expands continuously as the web changes. Your subscription includes ongoing updates to that database, along with product updates, new feature releases, and technical support for the life of the subscription. Subscriptions renew annually.

Specialized pricing is available for several buyer types. Wavecrest offers dedicated rates for U.S. government, educational institutions, and reseller or multi-organization deployments. If you fall into one of these categories, contact Wavecrest for the applicable rate rather than the standard commercial price.

For a precise quote based on your exact user count and licensing category, contact Wavecrest directly. You can also evaluate Cyfin before buying through a free trial and a sample report, with no credit card required, so you can confirm the reporting fits your needs before committing.
