Services | Application Visibility & Risk AssessmentA major challenge facing information security and network managers is that their firewalls rely on protocols and ports to identify and control what gets in and out of the network. This port-centric design is relatively ineffective when faced with new applications that are equipped with increasingly sophisticated security evasion techniques, such as dynamic or random port numbers, application emulation and SSL encryption. Enterprise networks are populated with these new generation applications that are used for both personal and business purposes. The ramifications resulting from the inability to identify, control and inspect the applications traversing the network include: - Business liability: Regulatory and internal policy compliance, unseen data leakage
- Operational expenses: Rising bandwidth consumption, added IT operational expenses, lost user productivity from personal application usage
- Increased propagation of threats: Viruses, spyware, worms and application vulnerabilities can quickly spread across the network
Conquest Security provides a comprehensive assessment services to identify the applications that transverse the enterprise firewalls. This service provides information security and network managers with the visibility they need to implement effective technical and policy-based controls that will protect their networks from misuse and malicious activity.
