Five Facts About ApplicationUsage on Enterprise Networks
in Spain
Application Usage and Risk Report December 2011
Average number of social networking applications per organization?
A total of 63 different social networking applications were found in 99% of the 71 participating organizations with an
average of 21 found on each network.
21
Which application is used more heavily?
Based on the percentage of social networking bandwidth consumed, Vkontakte is used more heavily at 9% of the
bandwidth. Facebook and Twitter crush all others at 40% and 19% respectively.
(Vkontakte)
Active social networking applications (games, posting, plugins, apps) are used a more heavily when compared to global usage patterns. Facebook is the clear leader with 40%
of BW consumed.
Average number of browser-based filesharing applications per organization?
A total of 48 different browser-based filesharing applications were found in 96% of the 71 participating
organizations with an average of 21 in each.
21
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 224 or 24% of the 935 applications found in the participating
organizations.
224
Percentage of total bandwidth consumed by applications not using tcp/80?
53% of the total bandwidth is being consumed by 344 (37% of 935) applications that DO NOT USE port 80 at all. Ever.
50%
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.
