Panda Cloud Internet Protection 3.2 includes monitoring and control of P2P protocols, even when encrypted, and protection for exploitable browser vulnerabilities.

It also delivers access control features allowing companies to filter URLs and restrict access to social networks, blogs or webmail, etc. It offers three types of protection:

• Prevention of infections from IT threats that spread across these types of platforms
• Regulation of the use of these communities and corresponding bandwidth consumption
• Detection and protection against data loss through HTTP/HTTPS (SSL) protocols, preventing sensitive corporate information from being published on Facebook or Twitter.

According to the “First Annual Social Media Risk Index for SMBs”, published by Panda Security, the main concerns for SMBs with respect to social networks include privacy issues and financial loss (74%), malware infections (69%), loss of productivity (60%) and issues related with corporate reputation (50%), followed by network performance problems (29%).
