Almost half your Internet traffic is not browser-based these days, according to the ATLAS Internet Observatory 2009 Annual Report. Applications are the fastest growing segment in bandwidth use. Some applications are mission critical, like Web conferencing software or VoIP. Others are non-critical but not malicious, like streaming media or iTunes®. And some applications put you, your organization, and your users at risk, like peer-to-peer file sharing software or filter-avoidance anonymous proxy software. That's why application Visibility is a critical part of your Secure Web Gateway requirement.
Application visibility is the ability to see all of the traffic generated by these applications. Many solutions today claim application visibility but here’s the problem: they don’t see the whole picture.
How
we do it better
At
Cymphonix®, our Network Composer® is designed to
monitor all standard ports, like 80, 8080 or 443. What makes us unique is that we monitor all
of the other ports as well. This distinction is important because
developers-both the legitimate ones and the ones writing questionable applications-understand
the limitations of the existing Secure Web Gateway solutions. They write applications that use non-standard
ports that rotate through ports, and that use other means to avoid the limited
areas closely watched by legacy technology.
Our Network Composer solutions scale from 2 Mbps connections all the way to 1 Gbps. Our custom hardware and the 64-bit XLi™ OS are architected to handle all of the traffic on that connection. It’s simple to describe, complicated to develop, but extremely effective at giving you complete visibility into your connection.
Once
you have that visibility you can use Network Composer's award-winning unified
interface to quickly set policy by group, department, location, LAN segment,
and even by users. You can accelerate
desired applications, slow noncritical applications, and block noncompliant
applications altogether. The key is
visibility. By seeing all of the
connection, not just part of it, Cymphonix gives you unmatched visibility and
control of your converged Internet traffic.
