Active social networking application (games, posting, plugins, apps) usage patterns are similar to those observed
globally. Facebook is a clear dominant player with 60% of BW consumed.

Browser-based filesharing use cases: work or entertainment. Both uses have a common set of business
and security risks that organizations must address.

The number of applications using Port 80 (tcp/80) only?
The number of applications that ONLY use Port 80 is 214 or 26% of the 812 applications found in the participating
organizations.
214

Percentage of total bandwidth consumed by applications not using tcp/80?
61% of the total bandwidth is being consumed by 240 (30% of 812) applications that DO NOT USE port 80 at all. Ever.
61%

Port 80 only security is shortsighted. The common perception is that Port 80 (tcp/80) is where all the traffic and all
the problems are. A port 80 emphasis is an absolute requirement; but too much focus is shortsighted.
