Five Facts About Application
Usage on Enterprise Networks
Application Usage and Risk Report
December 2011

Average number of social networking
applications per organization?

Average number of social networking
applications per organization?

A total of 71 different social networking applications were
found in 97% of the 1,636 participating organizations. An
average of 16 were found on each network.

Which application is showed the most
significant Y-O-Y growth rate?

Which application is showed the most
significant Y-O-Y growth rate?

Based on the percentage of social networking bandwidth
consumed, Twitter increased 7-fold in a year-over-year
comparison.

Social networking becomes more active.
While Facebook is the dominant application, Twitter and in rest
action oriented uses increased significantly in Y-O-Y
comparison.

Average number of browser-based
filesharing applications per organization?

Average number of browser-based
filesharing applications per organization?

A total of 65 different browser-based filesharing
applications were found in 92% of the 1,636 participating
organizations. An average of 13 were found on each
network.

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
using Port 80 (tcp/80) only?

The number of applications that ONLY use Port 80 is 297 or
25% of the 1,195 applications found in the participating
organizations.

Percentage of total bandwidth consumed
by applications not using tcp/80?

Percentage of total bandwidth consumed
by applications not using tcp/80?

51% of the total bandwidth is being consumed by 413 (35% of
1,195) applications that DO NOT USE port 80 at all. Ever.

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.

The document discusses internet usage and technology adoption rates in Spanish households. It finds that 57.4% of Spanish households now have broadband internet access, an 11.6% increase from 2009. Over 22 million people in Spain now use e-commerce. Technology usage among minors is also very common, with 94.6% using computers and 87.3% using the internet. However, concerns about internet security remain, with over 70% of users worried about computer viruses and over 60% concerned about inappropriate content and personal information theft.

News alerts and the battle for the lockscreen

Tel-Aviv Journalists' Association

The document discusses notifications and alerts on smartphones. It finds that after personal communications, news and information is the second most common type of notification received by smartphone users. On average, users receive around 10 notifications per day, though some receive over 40. While most find news alerts useful, some feel they are too frequent or irrelevant. Broadcast news brands are most successful at alerts currently, though platforms and aggregators are growing. The document calls for publishers to improve personalization of alerts to increase relevance and user control over frequency.

IRJET- Authentic News Summarization

IRJET Journal

The document describes a proposed system for authenticating and summarizing news articles. The system prioritizes authenticating the news over summarization. If the news is determined to be at least 55% authentic based on analysis of keywords and content from authorized news sites, then it will generate a summary by breaking the news down into shorter, meaningful snippets. The system uses machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms like Syntaxnet to extract phrases and analyze the news. It is implemented as a user-friendly web application using technologies like Python, Django, HTML, CSS and Bootstrap.

He Hariyadi

The document provides an executive summary and findings from application usage assessments of over 1,000 organizations globally and within specific countries/regions. Key findings include that over 40% of applications use SSL or hop ports, accounting for about a third of bandwidth. Social networking, IM and webmail usage has increased significantly compared to 12 months ago. File transfer applications like FTP, P2P and browser-based sharing provide value but also security risks over time as the technologies evolve. Country/region specific sections highlight variances in application usage patterns and risks.

PALO ALTO -NETWORKS Application Usage & Threat Report 2014

Marcello Marchesini

The document analyzes application usage and cyber threats across over 5,500 organizations. It finds that while common sharing applications like email, social media and file sharing represent a high percentage of total applications and bandwidth used, they account for a relatively low percentage of observed threat activity. Specifically, these applications delivered 32% of threats but exhibited only 5% of threat activity. The majority of threats instead were concentrated in a small number of "workhorse" applications. Code execution exploits that allow malware installation were the most common threat type delivered via common sharing applications.

Cloud adoption and risk report Europe q1 2015

Prayukth K V

The average European organization uses 987 cloud services, uploading 12.3 TB of data per month. While cloud adoption is growing, many services do not meet security or privacy standards. Insider threats are more common than organizations realize, with 87% showing potentially risky behavior. Compromised user credentials are also widespread, exposing many organizations' data. Strict European privacy laws make it risky to store data in services outside the EU or US with privacy protections.

Intelligence on the Intractable Problem of Software Security

Tyler Shields

More than half of all software failed to meet an acceptable security level and 8 out of 10 web applications failed to comply with OWASP Top 10. Cross-site scripting was the most prevalent vulnerability across all applications. Third-party applications were found to have the lowest security quality, though developers repaired vulnerabilities quickly. Suppliers of cloud/web applications were most frequently subjected to third-party risk assessments. No single testing method was adequate by itself, and financial industry application security did not match business criticality.
