Risky Applications

The section on Risky Applications has been expanded to include several views of the data. It's an attempt to assess the risk of your applications by first categorizing them into industry-standard categories and then comparing them to the number of variants that exist across other organizations. This data can help you decide what applications need to be blocked. You can immediately see where you fall on a 1 to 5 risk scale to understand your overall risk.

The top Risky Applications categories are individually graphed and grouped on a page so you can see the detail associated with them. For example, the graph for the Top Policy Violation Apps is shown below.

At the top of the graph, you can see how much bandwidth is being consumed by this category of Risky Applications. To the right of the bandwidth, the total number of application variants in your own network is compared to the industry average.

Individual applications are also assessed for risk. A ranked list is provided at the end of the Risky Applications section and shows detail like this:
