Web 2.0

Control for Over 5,000 Web 2.0 Applications

Today, the online landscape is alive with participation and collaboration. In addition to Web 2.0 applications like IM, Web conferencing, VoIP, and blogs, hundreds of social networking sites are available to anyone with a browser.

Left unsecured and unmanaged, widespread use of Web 2.0 applications can:

  • Create holes for information leakage, resulting in the loss of confidential information
  • Expose organizations to legal liabilities and financial penalties from compliance breaches
  • Compromise network security from malware spread through real-time channels
  • Increase help desk calls and support costs
  • Cause network bandwidth overload with file sharing
