The New Internet poses new threats to an organization's
network. Traditional security tools like URL filtering,
firewalls, and Intrusion Prevention Systems do not offer adequate
protection against the evasive applications of the Web 2.0
world.
Web 2.0 applications are designed specifically for
communication. These applications use port hopping,
encryption and non-standard protocols to ensure a seamless end user
experience. Any security solution that is capable of managing
and policing these Web 2.0 applications needs to factor this into
its design.
At a minimum, an effective security solution must encompass a
broad range of capabilities:
- Web 2.0 and Social Networking Controls
- control features and content posted to Facebook, LinkedIn, and
Twitter, including logging and archiving; manage a range of Web 2.0
applications
- IM Security - manage and secure all public
IM against inbound threats and information leakage to ensure
compliance
- Web Filtering - monitor and control
employee access to websites without impacting network performance
or employee productivity
- Malware Prevention - stop spyware,
worms, and blended threats at the gateway before they can impact
the business
- Skype Management - enforce usage policies
by feature and version, log content sent, and apply
disclaimers
- Peer-to-Peer Control - block
inappropriate use of P2P networks that consume bandwidth and create
legal exposure
