OVERVIEW

Olfeo's protocol filtering extends protection to all Internet protocols. It detects and controls over 120 protocols divided into more than 20 themes (Instant Messaging, P2P, Streaming, etc.).

The protocol analysis recognizes application signatures, irrespective of the port used, in order to ensure exhaustive blocking even with dynamic protocols.

The protocol filtering policy rules engine offers very detailed granularity for configuring your policies.

Link your protocol filtering policies individually to groups or users, using the same GUI as for URL filtering.

Security policies are centralized, giving you a global view.

  • Identifies non-IP protocols and communications protocols such as IRC and ICQ, frequently used by zombie workstations
     
  • Detects protocols used by online games, P2P, streaming, file downloading, etc. in order to optimize bandwidth
  • Analyze the stream type regardless of ports used
     
  • Analyze application signatures up to layer 7 in order to identify the real protocol
     
  • Accurately analyze real-time network streams
     
  • Accurately manage protocol filtering policies through 120 protocols grouped into over 20 themes
     
  • Assign filtering policies using a tree view based on your directory structure
