Application Control Lite Application Control Lite

Application Control Lite lets administrators take back control of their networks from disruptive applications like peer-to-peer applications or online games. Signature based layer 7 filtering makes it easy for administrators to:

  • Improve productivity by blocking IM & online games that evade firewall rules

  • Write custom signatures for any protocol

  • Conserve bandwidth by blocking applications like peer-to-peer that open multiple TCP ports

    • Application Control Lite covers a broad set of applications, such as Instant Messaging, Peer to Peer activity, online games and streaming media, that can clog your network, reduce productivity, and infect computers with spyware, malware, and viruses. These applications are extremely aggressive and will sneak out on ports used for other vital network traffic such as web and email, making it nearly impossible to control them with firewall rules. Application Control Lite takes a different approach to log and/or block these applications using their signatures. This allows you to lock down the unwanted activity.
