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.
