Total Control for Real-Time Internet Communications

FaceTime Internet Security Edition enables the safe and productive use of the Internet including web browsing, IM, P2P, Skype and other real-time communications applications. Purpose-built and integrated to provide total visibility and control, FaceTime Internet Security Edition allows organizations to implement powerful policies that detect, secure, and manage real-time collaborative applications while preventing inbound malware threats, minimizing information leakage, and controlling employee Internet use.

With FaceTime, IT organizations can benefit from:

• Single point of control - for all web and real-time communications lowers operational costs and simplifies administration
• Better value - extend existing budget to cover both URL filtering and emerging applications such as IM, P2P and Skype
• Security and performance - validated by respected industry publications and test labs, only FaceTime provides a platform that combines the highest efficacy with fastest performance.

Besides web browsing, enterprise Internet traffic now includes real-time, presence-oriented applications including instant messaging, VoIP, web conferencing and P2P file sharing.

These real-time communications applications called 'greynets' are often installed by end users without the permission or knowledge of the IT department and use highly evasive techniques to circumvent existing security infrastructure.

Because greynet applications operate below the security radar, they provide an ideal vector for malware infections, client-side code vulnerabilities, intellectual property loss, and identity theft. While some greynets, particularly enterprise instant messaging, web conferencing and VoIP, deliver clear business benefits, others such as anonymizers and P2P file sharing can pose serious risks. Current security infrastructure designed for well-behaved applications fall short in detecting and securing greynet channels that use proprietary protocols and HTTP as their channels.

To maximize the value and minimize the risk of web and greynet applications, enterprises must gain visibility and control over their use.

Total Control. Zero Latency.

FaceTime Internet Security Edition comprises two key components:

• RTGuardian — next generation perimeter security solution for managing web browsing, securing unauthorized IM and P2P usage and blocking the spread of spyware and adware in the enterprise.
