Enterprises groups are faced with security threats and technical confusion
The rapid adoption of the Internet is providing professionals with a wealth of information resources, greater business opportunities and convenient platform for the transmission of data. Internet usage has greatly reduced operation and communications costs. However, at the same time individuals and organizations without management and supervision policies, procedures or effective tools have resulted in the abuse of network resources within the organization and gradually rise to a series of security, ethical, legal and efficiency issues. This has long troubled enterprises, senior management, operators and government authorities. Behavior and security problems are as follows:
Security Issues:
- Viruses, worms, Trojan horses, malicious code and spyware, Web memberships, Email, chat, downloading tools and other malicious applications can penetrate into every corner of the network can seriously affect the normal use of the network.

There is no effective monitoring or usage policy and no comprehensive record of the network usage resulting in complex security risks
- Software applications that facilitate unwarranted data and document dissemination problems through the Internet. Any digital file can easily be sent out the enterprise's internal network via ICQ\OICQ. The use of such software may allow Internet hacker attacks and unauthorized dissemination or damage of hard disk information and data. Whether deliberately or accidentally, employees are likely to reveal important information within a local area network to a third-party organizations and even competitors.
Efficiency:
According to the latest IDC research report, company employees spend on a daily average more than half of working hours on online chat, browsing entertainment, pornography, gambling websites, or handling of personal affairs. The employees spent 62% of that time downloading of which 11% of the time was to download music and 25% of that time was to download information for work related matters. Employees are often put aside their own work for personal matters, leading to their overall efficiency in the workplace. An effective resource management tool is needed to ensure the normal operation of key businesses and to avoid the waste of manpower and resources.
Bandwidth Issues:
Much of the staff while on-line frequently download large files, such as a large number of MP3 music files, or enjoy online music, watching video movies, news, etc. This large number of P2P applications can wreak havoc on network bandwidth causing insurmountable network congestion. Appropriate network management to resolve these issues can cause a serious drain on bandwidth resources, leading to project priority issues and a disruption of normal daily IT operations.
Maintenance Problems:
- Large-scale enterprise networks have a large number of switches, routers and other equipment.
- The administrator has time consuming maintenance workload.
- There is no centralized network management system for unified management.
- A traditional switch or router can add more complexity for normal configuration and operations. More often then not, commands to add or re-configure network policies and protocols are complex, cumbersome and are unproductive.
User Management Issues:
Frequently there may be visitors from a different company, region or country who may use their portable computers or laptops at the headquarters. Traditional security devices to manage this category of temporary user the user are inadequate.
