Application Control
It is very hard to determine as who, what, when, where ,why and how applications are used on your network.Application control makes it simple to create and enforce acceptable use poilicies at your organization.Using Application Control,you can selectively allow, block, or restrict access to applications based on a user's department, job role and time of day. Once you set up ypur policy, Applocation Control allows you to see in real-time what is being accessed on your network and by whom.You can demonstrate compliance, evaluate employee needs and refine acceptable user policies with the help of this infomation obtained.
Features
Allow or Deny Access to Applications by Name or Function (IM File Sharing)
Application Control makes it easy to block sub-functions of applications with over 2,500 signatures and behavioural analysis.Thus, you can allow Windows Live Messenger and also block file transfers.
Makes Acceptable Use Policy Enforcement Easy
Establish acceptable use policies for users and groups by category, application, and application sub-function for maximum flexibility.
Dynamic Updates
New applications and new versions are released constantly.Therefore, Application Control stays current with regular application signature updates.
Easy Reporting on Application Usage
You can take advantage of real-time and historical visibility into what's being accessed on your network to report on application usage. . Use the information to demonstrate compliance, evaluate employee need, and refine acceptable use policies.
Intuitive and Effective
Exercise fine-grained control over more than 1,800 applications, organized by category. Application Control lets you drill down from application category ("P2P") to application name ("Facebook") and down to application function ("Facebook Chat").
Reporting Out of the Box
Real-time reporting and monitoring are included. Thus, no additional software required to have complete visibility into network activity.
Restrict Access by User, Group or Time of Day
Application Control makes it simple to selectively allow, block, or restrict access to applications based on a user’s department, job function, and time of day, and generate reports on usage.
Signatures...and Then Some
Sophisticated Behavioral Analysis works overtime, irrespective of destination address or L7 protocol, to ensure applications that exhibit certain patterns of behavior don't escape the gaze of Application Control — including encrypted applications that are specifically designed to bypass ordinary security measures.
