Close the Gap in Your Network with Visibility and Control Over the Applications

Today, new Internet and social media applications are a common source of vulnerabilities and attacks. IT pros are faced with the challenge of managing or controlling a vast array of web applications without hindering productivity. Most application traffic is now web-based over port 80 or port 443. Adding to this challenge, some applications also use evasive techniques like encryption or they jump around non-standard ports. And to complicate matters, the distinction between "web site" and "web application" is tenuous at best. No longer does a traditional firewall with only port and protocol numbers suffice; the firewall administrator needs to set granular controls by application. The business needs to understand and control which applications employees use.
