What is P2P?

Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks are hosted file sharing services such as eDonkey, Gnutella and BitTorrent. The P2P networks and client applications are harmless, but play host to a large number of cyber criminals that target unsuspecting users. P2P networks are growing exponentially and are considered one of the world’s top network security risks.

Eliminate P2P Vulnerabilities

  • Stop identity theft from P2P-hosted spyware.
  • Prevent confidential data from being shared through P2P networks.
  • Minimise liabilities from objectionable or copyrighted downloads.

Apply Comprehensive P2P Protection

Just like viruses, P2P networks continue to evolve to circumvent security measures.

  • Block various types of P2P networks with port blocking, payload analysis and behavior analysis.
  • Arm yourself against evolving techniques such as encrypted P2P traffic tunneling through port 80.
"The school network was frequently exposed to viruses attacks carried by software downloaded by students from Peer-to-Peer networks.” Kerio WinRoute Firewall blocked P2P traffic and satisfied the needs of the Institute."
