FaceTime Internet Security Edition
FaceTime Internet Security Edition enables the safe and productive use of the Internet including web browsing, IM, P2P, Skype and other realtime communications applications. Purpose-built and integrated to provide total visibility and control, FaceTime Internet Security Edition allows organisations to implement powerful policies that detect, secure, manage and enable realtime collaborative applications while preventing malware threats, minimising information leakage, and control employee Internet use.
FaceTime Internet Security Edition is the next generation Internet security solution, providing total control over web usage and real-time communications. For the first time, enterprises can enable, secure and manage all Internet channels - web browsing, IM, P2P, Skype, and chat - with unified policy management through a single access point. FaceTime Internet Security Edition combines state-of-the-art IM & P2P security with an industry leading URL filtering database and award winning gateway anti-spyware solution.
With FaceTime, IT organizations can benefit from:
- Single point of control - for all web and real-time communications lowers operational costs and simplifies administration
- Better value - extend existing budget to cover both URL filtering and emerging applications such as IM, P2P and Skype
- Security and performance - validated by respected industry publications and test labs, only FaceTime provides a platform that combines the highest efficacy with fastest performance.
Besides web browsing, enterprise Internet traffic now includes real-time, presence-oriented applications including Instant Messaging, VoIP, web conferencing and P2P file sharing.
These real-time communications applications called 'greynets' are often installed by end users without the permission or knowledge of the IT department and use highly evasive techniques to circumvent existing security infrastructure.
Because greynet applications operate below the security radar, they provide an ideal vector for malware infections, client-side code vulnerabilities, intellectual property loss, and identity theft. While some greynets, particularly enterprise Instant Messaging, web conferencing and VoIP, deliver clear business benefits, others such as anonymizers and P2P file sharing can pose serious risks. Current security infrastructure designed for well-behaved applications fall short in detecting and securing greynet channels that use proprietary protocols and HTTP as their channels.
To maximize the value and minimize the risk of web and greynet applications, enterprises must gain visibility and control over their use.
