Applications running “below the radar” on your network can cause a wide range of productivity, security and compliance issues.
Mi5’s Application Control module gives you visibility and control over unauthorized applications in your network with our unique Application Fingerprinting technology. Unlike simple blacklists, or scanners limited to Port80/HTTP, Mi5’s Application Fingerprints identify applications regardless of what port and protocol they run over, what evasive tactic(s) they use, or what destination(s) they communicate to.
Mi5 controls applications transparently from the gateway, without requiring any desktop changes or network reconfiguration. And Mi5's high-performance S2 Streaming Engine architecture means you can handle up to 1Gbps of traffic per gateway, without any network, application, or web browsing slowdown.
Mi5’s flexible and integrated web policy engine gives you fine-grained auditing control over application use by individuals, departments, geographies or the whole enterprise. You can control activity by specific application or application category, and mix-and-match which applications to allow, log, or block. For applications with multiple uses, like IM, you can allow a portion of the application to be used (chat), while still blocking or at least scanning file transfers for malware.
Mi5's built-in web reporting systems gives you a complete view of employee activity. Reports can be saved and scheduled for delivery, and integrated in with other enterprise systems via Syslog, SNMP, Email and FTP.
Mi5 currently tracks over 100 different applications, including leading IM, peer-to-peer, remote access, and VoIP applications. More applications are regularly and automatically refreshed through Mi5’s AutoUpdate system.
