Identifying and controlling today's Internet applications is the first step towards safeguarding data. As web applications create unauthorized pathways out of a network, it is critical to gain a granular level of visibility and control in order to prevent sensitive information from leaving your network via these channels.

Not only do these applications consume massive amounts of bandwidth, they also directly impact employee productivity and, most importantly, create new security threats.

Effectively manage application usage to:

• eliminate bandwidth hogging applications 
• eliminate security threats related to rogue applications 
• eliminate the legal liabilities associated with peer-to-peer file sharing apps 
• eliminate adware installs related to blocked applications 
• obtain detailed insight into bandwidth usage on a per application basis 
• improve employee productivity by eliminating rogue applications 
• allow for frequent updates to application block list 
• support compliance efforts

Control applications and eliminate their usage by blocking their connection to the Internet. Hardware-based application classification and policy enforcement provides the market’s only content filtering solution capable of application blocking on a per flow and per application basis - regardless of port or protocol. Pattern-based classification identifies and enforces policy on any Layer 7 Internet applications.

Programmable hardware provides the ability to easily update application classification and control as new Internet applications are created or legacy applications need to be supported.
