Key findings from Palo Alto Networks Application Usage and Risk Report, December 2011 (Korea Only).
The slides provides insight into application activity that is based on network application assessments that show what is really happening on corporate networks.
3. Average number of social networking
applications per organization?
A total of 57 different social networking applications were
found in 96% of the 35 participating organizations with an
average of 20 found on each network.

5. Which application is used more heavily?
Based on the percentage of social networking bandwidth
consumed, DAUM consumed 78% of the bandwidth.
Twitter and Facebook 1% each respectively.
6. Local social networking dominate - while Facebook and
twitter struggle. Both DAUM and Cyworld are used more
heavily than Twitter or Facebook

8. Average number of browser-based
filesharing applications per organization?
A total of 55 different browser-based filesharing
applications were found in 86% of the 35 participating
organizations with an average of 18 in each.
9. Browser-based filesharing use cases: work or
entertainment. Both uses have a common set of business
and security risks that organizations must address.

11. The number of applications
using Port 80 (tcp/80) only?
The number of applications that ONLY use Port 80 is 188 or
27% of the 707 applications found in the participating
organizations.
12.
13. Percentage of total bandwidth consumed
by applications not using tcp/80?
20% of the total bandwidth is being consumed by 214 (30%
of 707) applications that DO NOT USE port 80 at all. Ever.
14. 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.
