The report highlights the presence of 61 social networking applications on average per organization in Taiwan, with Zynga games consuming the most bandwidth at 10%. It identifies 53 different browser-based filesharing applications present, emphasizing the risks associated with both work and entertainment uses. Additionally, only 18% of total bandwidth is consumed by applications that do not use port 80, suggesting a need for a broader security perspective beyond just port 80.
Palo Alto Networks Application Usage and Risk Report - Key Findings for Taiwan
- 1. Five Facts About Application Usage on Enterprise Networks in Taiwan Application Usage and Risk Report December 2011
- 3. Average number of social networking applications per organization? A total of 61 different social networking applications were found in 99% of the 148 participating organizations with an average of 12 found on each network.
- 5. Which application is used more heavily? Based on the percentage of social networking bandwidth consumed, Zynga games consumed 10% of the bandwidth while Twitter consumed only 2%.
- 6. Taiwan social networking usage is active. Facebook dominates but action oriented (apps, games, posting, and plugins) usage is greater in Taiwan than it is globally.
- 8. Average number of browser-based filesharing applications per organization? A total of 53 different browser-based filesharing applications were found in 97% of the 148 participating organizations with an average of 15 in each.
- 9. Browser-based filesharing use cases: work or entertainment. Both uses have a common set of business and security risks that organizations must address.
- 11. The number of applications using Port 80 (tcp/80) only? The number of applications that ONLY use Port 80 is 228 or 25% of the 898 applications found in the participating organizations.
- 13. Percentage of total bandwidth consumed by applications not using tcp/80? Only 18% of the total bandwidth is being consumed by 292 (33% of 898) applications that DO NOT USE port 80 at all. Ever.
- 14. Port 80 only security is shortsighted. The common perception is that Port 80 (tcp/80) is where all the traffic and all the problems are. A port 80 emphasis is an absolute requirement; but too much focus is shortsighted.
