    The Internet has changed. Employee initiated traffic is no longer just e-mail and Web browsing. The new Internet is dominated by Web 2.0 apps, instant messaging, social networking, P2P file sharing, VoIP and other collaborative applications.

    Employees – especially the new generation of workers – often introduce these consumer-oriented applications onto the corporate network. Some are used to socialize, others to gain efficiencies in the workplace, but they all circumvent existing security infrastructure making it difficult for IT to gain visibility and control.

    Securing today’s Internet requires more than simple Web filtering. Web 2.0 applications, realtime communications and the world of social networking present additional security challenges - spyware, rootkits, information leakage, and non-compliance with regulatory and e-discovery requirements. At the same time, organizations are recognizing the productivity and cost benefits of some real-time communications and want to enable their use. The challenge remains: how do you mitigate business risks while allowing employees to collaborate?
