Application Classification

In today’s complex digital environments, not all applications are created equal—some are critical for business operations, while others pose security risks or drain bandwidth. Application Classification delivers deep, real-time insights into every application traversing your network, empowering you to enforce policies, optimize performance, and eliminate blind spots.
 
  • Powered by advanced Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) and machine learning, our solution accurately categorizes thousands of applications—from business-critical SaaS tools to shadow IT and encrypted threats. Unlike traditional port-based methods, Application Classification decodes even obfuscated or tunneled traffic, ensuring no app goes undetected.
 
  • Automatically flag and block risky applications like unauthorized VPNs, P2P file sharing, or malware-hosting services. Granular classification helps meet GDPR, HIPAA, and industry regulations by controlling data flow and preventing sensitive information leaks through unapproved apps.
 
  • Prioritize mission-critical applications (VoIP, ERP, cloud backups) while throttling or restricting bandwidth-heavy, non-essential traffic (streaming, gaming). Dynamic classification adapts to new apps and updates, ensuring policies stay effective as your network evolves.
