We just wanted to share with you some results of recent customer evaluations of FaceTime’s new Unified Security Gateway so that you can see the some of the value that these organizations got by conducting a free 14 day trial.
All 3 Companies said:
- We block Public Instant Messaging
- We block P2P applications like Skype and File Sharing
- We don’t have a Spyware problem
But the most interesting thing about these results is what each organization had in common within their network infrastructure:
- Each Company was protected by two layers of firewalls
- Each Company used WebSense and Bluecoat for managing web content
- Each Company had a dedicated Intrusion Prevention System in place
The charts below show the number of Instant Messaging conversations and connections made using P2P applications over a 2 week period:
In all 3 of the cases above, the evidence backed what FaceTime has been saying for sometime – The Internet has changed.
Internet usage and application use on your network is being propelled by users who want to communicate through Social Networking sites like FaceBook and through Instant Messaging or P2P applications like Skype.
FaceTime is the only company that can control over 200 real-time applications, and securely enable the use of Instant Messaging applications and Skype in your corporate environment.
