What is P2P?

Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks are hosted file sharing services such as eDonkey, Gnutella and BitTorrent. The P2P networks and client applications are harmless, but play host to a large number of cyber criminals that target unsuspecting users. P2P networks are growing exponentially and are considered one of the world’s top network security risks.

Eliminate P2P Vulnerabilities

• Stop identity theft from P2P-hosted spyware.
• Prevent confidential data from being shared through P2P networks.
• Minimize liabilities from objectionable or copyrighted downloads.

Apply Comprehensive P2P Protection

Just like viruses, P2P networks continue to evolve to circumvent security measures.

• Block various types of P2P networks with port blocking, payload analysis and behavior analysis.
• Arm yourself against evolving techniques such as encrypted P2P traffic tunneling through port 80.
