Deep Edge
Application Control automatically discovers popular Internet applications and allows
you
to set policies that limit application access.
Deep Edge provides both visibility and control for almost
1000 application types running across any port, including applications using custom

(Skype, BitTorrent, P2P) or leveraging Web 2.0 technologies within the browser (social
networking, web mail, and streaming media sites). You have the flexibility to control
applications or to allow the application but granularly control the activities within
the
application, such as uploading files, watching video, or playing specific games.
