The new generation of Internet applications is flooding today’s corporate networks, and the focus is on collaboration, communication, and knowledge sharing. This, in turn, is creating a new “social enterprise” where traditional boundaries are disappearing and users are taking control of the network away from IT. Despite corporate and IT policies that prohibit use of certain applications, many high risk applications are still being used “under the radar” by Internet-savvy employees that know how to circumvent IT security controls. Unfortunately, traditional firewalls and related security devices are ineffective in addressing this problem. And as Internet traffic continues to increase on corporate networks, you will continue to lose visibility and control of applications and users. This creates a high risk network environment that can seriously impact business security and employee productivity. Palo Alto Networks innovative next generation firewalls are empowering IT organizations with an unprecedented level of user-based application visibility and control, allowing them to safely leverage Internet applications to support a “social enterprise” strategy that is good for your organization. This talk will explore the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats associated with enterprise 2.0 applications on behalf of the security professional.
