Instant Messaging & Peer to Peer

Topology: InterGate Intercept sits at the edge of your network monitoring all incoming and outgoing traffic. It recognizes Instant Messaging and Peer-to-Peer traffic using application signatures. This means that it examines individual network traffic packets to see what application has generated them. If the packet has been generated by a forbidden application, the packet will be refused. InterGate Intercept also uses heuristics. This means that it analyses traffic, looking for behavior patterns typical of forbidden applications that do not identify themselves with a signature as any legitimate application should.
In bridging mode, all network traffic must pass through Vicomsoft Policy Manager, as there is no physical access to the Internet otherwist. This means that you have total control over Instant Messaging and Peer-to-Peer traffic flowing over your network.
