Actiance's Application Control Engine™ (ACE™) enables security
and network solution providers to embed application filtering
technology to accurately identify and manage real-time and Web 2.0
applications on the network. ACE employs patented technology to
enable high-performance application scanning and detection of more
than 5,000 distinct applications and tens of
thousands of social networking widgets - regardless of port,
protocol, or evasive technique used to traverse the network.
Actiance's U.S. patent for classifying and identifying network
traffic flows forms the technology foundation for ACE. This
technology provides unparalleled accuracy and application coverage
through active monitoring and dynamic correlation of network,
content, traffic, and other session characteristics.
Purpose-built for today's applications, the engine includes
built-in support for daily auto-updates of new applications
provided by Actiance Security Labs.
