Rogue Aware quickly exposes hidden instant messaging and P2P traffic and allows IT administrators to view usage statistics. Rogue Aware is critical risk management tool in assessing network vulnerabilities during security audits. Unmanaged public Instant Messaging and P2P File Sharing expose corporate networks to serious business threats including loss of confidential information, virus infections, and security loopholes that allow hacker attacks. Because unmanaged public instant messaging and P2P file sharing traffic exposes enterprise networks to a myriad of threats, it is imperative that IT managers know when this type of traffic is present. Rogue Aware is a network “sniffer” that collects information about the use of traffic that is generated by the major public IM networks including FastTrack and Gnutella, and major P2P File Sharing applications such as KaZaA, Morpheus, Gnutella, etc. Supported IM networks include AOL, MSN, and YAHOO. Supported P2P clients include KaZaA, KaZaA Lite, Grokster, Bearshare, Limewire, Morpheus, Shareaza, Phex, Swapper, and Xolox. Rogue Aware generates a detailed report, illuminating the different types of clients are being used, how many messages are being sent, how many files are being transferred, and other valuable statistics. Once these protocols are exposed, Akonix L7 Enterprise can be used to granularly manage their use, reduce security threats, generate detailed reports and comply with government and industry regulations.
