Employees are using company resources to access peer-to-peer (P2P) applications on company time and exposing organizations to serious and potentially catastrophic risks. Swapped files from P2P networks may contain viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and spyware. And, since P2P is primarily used to exchange pirated audio, video, and software files or inappropriate content, companies should be concerned about the potential exposure to legal - even criminal - liability. Due to its unique, layered approach, Websense software allows companies to completely prevent P2P use at the network level, gateway, and desktop. Websense gives companies complete confidence that P2P applications will not operate in their IT environment and cannot be used on any company-owned computers.
