The document summarizes key findings from a Palo Alto Networks application usage and risk report on enterprise networks in Thailand: - The average organization had 16 social networking applications, with Twitter and Zynga consuming 11% and 8% of bandwidth respectively. Social networking usage in Thailand is more active than globally. - 95% of organizations had an average of 16 browser-based filesharing applications. Both work and entertainment uses pose common business and security risks. - 29% of the 759 total applications found used only port 80 (TCP/80). - 34% of total bandwidth was consumed by 28% of applications that did not use port 80 at all. - While port 80 emphasis

Application Usage and Risk Report
December 2011

3. Average number of social networking
applications per organization?
A total of 60 different social networking applications were
found in 97% of the 75 participating organizations with an
average of 16 found on each network.

5. Which application is used more heavily?
Based on the percentage of social networking bandwidth
consumed, Twitter consumed 11% of the bandwidth while
Zynga consumed 8%.

6. Thailand social networking usage is active. Facebook
dominates but action oriented (games, posting, and plugins)
usage is greater in Thailand than it is globally.

8. Average number of browser-based
filesharing applications per organization?
A total of 48 different browser-based filesharing
applications were found in 95% of the 75 participating
organizations with an average of 16 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 210 or
29% of the 759 applications found in the participating
organizations.

13. Percentage of total bandwidth consumed
by applications not using tcp/80?
34% of the total bandwidth is being consumed by 210 (28%
of 759) 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.
