The Risk of Unseen Data Channels

The Web 2.0 environment has brought increased speed and efficiency to organizations, but it has also spawned thousands of new applications with multiple data channels and protocols accessing your network. This white paper discusses the risks of the unseen data channels, or ports, on your network including both TCP and UDP, and explains the types of data transferred using each protocol. It discusses the challenges of securing multiple data channels, particularly UDP, and explains why visibility into UDP traffic is critical to your network security.

You will also learn why your current network security solution may not be giving you adequate visibility, exposing your organization to advanced threats and costly data loss. This white paper concludes with a list of key attributes to look for in a network security solution that protects your data across all protocols and ports.
