Application Control

Monitor, Control and Block Application Level Gateway Threats with Innovative AppliFilter™ Technology

New Applications = New Threats

Internet tools and applications such as P2P, IM, Skype, AIM, and various Web 2.0 social networking applications were designed to improve communication and knowledge sharing -- but this doesn't always happen. When installed on your network, these applications can bypass existing security measures and create gaping holes through which spyware, Trojan horses, viruses and other malware can enter and attack. Fortunately, you can proactively safeguard your network and block P2P, IM, Skype, Web 2.0 threats and more with eSafe!

AppliFilter™ Technology for Granular Control of Applications

Built into eSafe's award-winning Web Security Gateway and Web Security Gateway PLUS content security products, eSafe's Application Control solution uses AppliFilter technology to enable granular control of applications -- all while remaining completely transparent to users. With eSafe, your network will be guarded by real-time, integrated and proactive security that controls hundreds of Internet application protocols across over 20 application families in four categories:

• Malicious applications: Spyware, Trojans, Worms, Key-loggers
• Unwanted applications: Adware and add-supported software, anonymizing tools
• Exploits and vulnerabilities: TCP Exploits, drive-by attacks, browser hijackers
• Controlled applications: Instant Messengers, IP Phone, P2P, Skype, streaming, tunnelling

Real-Time Examination and Analysis of Application Level Gateway Threats

Unlike other technologies that claim to control P2P, IM and more, eSafe's Application Control solution doesn't rely on a blacklist of servers. Instead, it uses NitroInspection™ technology to analyze the application protocol itself, and to block or restrict incoming/outgoing content that is deemed malicious, inappropriate or restricted according to the organization's Internet usage policy. Furthermore, the AppliFilter technology is "source/destination” agnostic, and analyses traffic based on patterns and malicious behaviour – instead of specific sites or IP addresses.

Powerful, Flexible and Scaleable Application Control

Whether you choose to defend your network with Web Security Gateway or Web Security Gateway + you'll benefit from eSafe's globally-trusted Application Control solution. It's scaleable to meet the changing needs of your organization, while being easy to deploy, configure, administrate and manage.
