Challenges:
Access to Internet facilitates enterprises to conduct external information communication, to get rich market resources and carry out routine business. However, as Internet information is enriched gradually, internal staff’s complex Internet accessing behaviors impose a lot of trouble on enterprises: P2P network applications consume huge bandwidth resources, affecting normal business-related network behaviors; some staff deals with work-irrelevant affairs via Internet when on duty, affecting working efficiency; staff’s unrestrained network access and speech may breach local laws or disclose companies’ confidential information. Because there is no detailed records of network behaviors, those responsible are often difficult to pursue, leading to loss incurred by enterprises. And because there is no effective network management means, network administrators are difficult to understand the whole network’s operation; rather, they can only be busy with tackling network problems, with no time to optimize and improve the whole network for control over companies’ network costs.

Our Solutions:
  Improve bandwidth utilization: via SANGFOR IAM’s P2P intelligent recognition function, to strictly control P2P and other applications that hugely consume bandwidth resources;

  Specify network behaviors: via SANGFOR IAM’s URL filtering and Internet access auditing functions, to strictly specify staff’s Internet access behaviors and to improve work efficiency; to avoid access to sensitive contents and investigation by judicial agencies; in combination with mail delay auditing and Internet access auditing functions, to effectively prevent disclosure of confidential information;

  Control network costs: via SANGFOR IAM’s refined and complete functions of application recognition, real-time monitoring and long-tem reports, network administrators can understand network application distributions in detail, divide key applications and non-key applications, and conduct reasonable network cost control;
