Securing today’s Internet requires more than simple Web filtering. Web 2.0 applications, real-time communications and the world of social networking present additional security challenges – spyware, rootkits, information leakage, and non-compliance with regulatory and e-discovery requirements.
The Internet has changed. Employee initiated traffic is no longer just e-mail and Web browsing. The new Internet is dominated by Web 2.0 apps, instant messaging, social networking, P2P file sharing, VoIP and other collaborative applications.
Employees – especially the new generation of workers – often introduce these consumer-oriented applications onto the corporate network. Some are used to socialize, others to gain efficiencies in the workplace, but they all circumvent existing security infrastructure making it difficult for IT to gain visibility and control.
Securing today’s Internet requires more than simple Web filtering. Web 2.0 applications, realtime communications and the world of social networking present additional security challenges – spyware, rootkits, information leakage, and non-compliance with regulatory and e-discovery requirements. At the same time, organizations are recognizing the productivity and cost benefits of some real-time communications and want to enable their use. The challenge remains: how do you mitigate business risks while allowing employees to collaborate?
The Solution?
FaceTime Communications has developed what it dubs the Unified Security Gateway (USG), which provides a single solution that enables organizations to get visibility into and control over the use of social networking and other Web 2.0 activities, as well as over standalone real-time communications applications like IM and P2P and unified communications environments like Microsoft Office Communications Server and IBM Lotus Sametime.
USG enables companies to safely let their employees use FaceBook, LinkedIn, MySpace, and other personal and professional social networking sites. With USG, enterprises can
- Manage access to and use of applications within social networking sites like Facebook according to established acceptable use policies
- Lower the risks from inbound threats and outbound data leakage
- Meet employee needs without impacting productivity or security
- Maintain regulatory compliance through logging and archival.
- Keep protection on track with dynamic updates of new social networking sites and applications hosted by those sites
- Benefit from a single point for enablement, access management, security and control for web and real-time channels
- Protect investment in security today by providing a platform on which future web-borne threat prevention can be built
With flexible deployment options, USG fits seamlessly into existing network topologies to offer the highest level of security with zero latency and a low total cost of ownership.
