Internet-based applications have grown in popularity over the last few years beyond using the browser to surf websites. Even with corporate usage policies, many companies are unable to curb and regulate the use of those applications. Recent findings show that 75% to 80% of corporate users ignore their company's endpoint usage policies. To avoid significant risk, 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 clients (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.
