72% of enterprises surveyed report that internal security threats pose an equal or greater problem than external risks.

APPLICATION CONTROL

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

A recent security survey by Sophos reflects the serious concern that uncontrolled applications are causing system administrators. Not only do these applications consume massive amounts of bandwidth, they also directly impact employee productivity and, most importantly, create new security threats.

The bottom line is companies need to control their network environments and the information flowing across their network.

Application Control

The Solution
Global Velocity's Content Control appliance provides an innovative, network-based solution for controlling applications and eliminating their usage by blocking their connection to the Internet. Through hardware-based application classification and policy enforcement, the Global Velocity solution provides the only content filtering solution capable of application blocking on a per flow and per application basis - regardless of port or protocol.

The use of programmable hardware to perform the application classification and control allows for an extremely flexible design which is easily updated as new Internet applications are created or legacy applications need to be supported.

The Global Velocity solution empowers organizations to effecitvely manage application usage, allowing organizations 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
